At the House Appropriations Committee hearing on the NIH Budget, NIH director Dr. Francis Collins was grilled about the collusion between the NIAAA and the alcohol industry in planning a clinical trial to study the health benefits of alcohol use. Congresswomen Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA) expressed concern about the fact that NIAAA violated NIH policy by soliciting funding from the alcohol companies and asked Dr. Collins who authorized the solicitation of funding. While Dr. Collins did not answer the question, he did say that his office is conducting an investigation and will provide the Inspector General with any uncovered materials that are of concern.
The questioning begins at 51:30 of the video.

Nice blog. Normal cigarettes taste like tobacco. This is because cigarettes are made from a large amount of tobacco. However, they are not made from pure tobacco; there are trays of nicotine and caffeine. Electronic cigarette gives the user a wide variety of flavors to choose from.
