Lorillard (maker of Blu ecigs) tells parents ecigs just emit "harmless water vapor;" that's not true

On April 23, 2014, Lorillard, makers of Blu e-cigs, posted a statement on its Youth Smoking Prevention Program website, "Real Parents Real Questions" website that tells parents
 
"The 'smoke' you see coming out of e-cigarettes isn't smoke -- its WATER VAPOR."
 
Needless to say, there are many other things in e-cigarette emissions, including ultrafine particles and 9 chemicals on the California Proposition 65 list of known carcinogens and reproductive toxins.  Also see our peer reviewed paper summarizing the scientific literature on e-cigarettes.
 
In case Lorillard decides to change this page, here is a PDF of what it said on May 31, 2014.
