Electronic Cigarette Dispute in the Americas

The United States has long been a leader in global health and it is also a leader in global trade. While U.S. global health and trade interests are often mutually reinforcing, they can diverge, especially when it comes to U.S. exports of consumer products that contribute to increases of cancers, heart diseases, and other noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). New products in the tobacco industry such as electronic cigarettes have brought new challenges in striking a balance between U.S. trade and global health priorities.
