Query

Hi there QuackGuru. I recently implemented a topic ban in order to unblock User:FergusM1970, who recognised his contributions in the area of electronic cigarettes had become unhelpful. He has asked that I look at your contributions. I see some that are perfectly appropriate, but I wondered about this. Are you entirely neutral in this topic area? --John (talk) 20:12, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What is your specific question about the edit? QuackGuru (talk) 20:19, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My specific question is, on reviewing this edit, do you think you are entirely neutral in this area? --John (talk) 20:22, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I read the source again and I think the text was misplaced. Read under Prevalence: "Although dual use with cigarettes is high, some youth experimenting with e-cigarettes have never tried a tobacco cigarette, which indicates that some youth are initiating use of nicotine, an addictive drug, with e-cigarettes." Here is the full text. I think the text is currently neutrally written and the placement of the text was a mistake. If it is not neutral I would appropriate it if you could tell me how the text could be improved or reworded. QuackGuru (talk) 20:56, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh that is where it came from (the 1/3 figure) - Utah (this[2]) is in other words generalized to be the US, even the world? And then written as fact in the Electronic cigarette article? Don't you see a problem with that? --Kim D. Petersen 21:39, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
