JAMA Article on E-Cigarettes Makes Refreshingly Sound Recommendations to Clinicians
A JAMA article supporting clinician conversations about e-cigarettes should make the debate more precise.

Medical guidance should separate evidence from values clearly enough for smokers to understand their options.
