Wheres the harm to the public?

Do these officials put cigarette tax money ahead of the possible health benefits from using ecigs over tobacco cigs? What about this statement from Albert Ferrara of the New Jersey Health Dept.? "They found e-cigarettes contain propylene glycol which is basically the chemical used to make the smoke in this product, We don't know how serious that could be, but, again, it is an ingredient used in antifreeze in our cars and that doesn't sound healthy to any of us." Propylene glycol is considerably less toxic and may be labeled as 'non-toxic antifreeze'. It is used as antifreeze where ethylene glycol would be inappropriate, such as in food-processing systems or in water pipes in homes. Its the substance theaters use to produce mist and smog on stage. This guy is from the Health Dept and doesn't know the difference between ethylene glycol used for your car or propylene glycol used in smoke machines? Are they going to ban smoke machines? No, they are safe. So if its safe to use in theaters. Whats the problem with ecigs? Sounds just like fear mongering to me. No reason for this ban at all. Just serving their own interests instead of the publics interest. Thats not why they are in office.
