Polarization Within the Field of Tobacco and Nicotine Science and its Potential Impact on Trainees

"The purpose of this commentary is to draw attention to how

early-career nicotine and tobacco scientists may inherit or feel pressured to align with one side of the e-cigarette debate and the potential adverse impacts that this may have on career development. We also discuss how mentors, senior scientists, professional organizations, and journals may reinforce aligning to an oversimplified, one-sided stance on e-cigarettes. While we acknowledge that our experiences do not represent all trainees in the field, we hope that this commentary will serve as a starting point for reflection, dialogue, and action." -- from p1
