Electronic Cigarettes: getting the science right and communicating it accurately

Electronic cigarettes are being used by millions of people worldwide, mostly in an attempt to reduce smoking or stop altogether. Policy makers, smokers, clinicians and the public in general need accurate information on their safety and potential for reducing smoking rates. Unfortunately in some notable cases the science is being misused, with findings being distorted, misinterpreted or 
misrepresented. 

The journal Addiction, presents 19 articles in a free virtual issue in an attempt to clarify the debate over e-cigarettes. The title of the virtual issue is Electronic cigarettes: getting the science right and communicating it accurately.
