The following is part of the FTC ruling concerning PhaseOut. Pay particular attention to item #2. Has the company obtained some competent and reliable scientific evidence that the product is effective in helping smokers quit the habit?

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that respondents, directly or through any corporation, subsidiary, division or other device, in connection with the manufacturing, labeling, advertising, promotion, offering for sale, sale, or distribution of any smoking-cessation product or cigarette- modification product in or affecting commerce, shall not make any representation, in any manner, expressly or by implication, that:

1. The product reduces the amount of nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, or any other component of cigarette smoke that smokers get from smoking a cigarette;

2. The product is effective in enabling or helping smokers to quit smoking;

3. The product reduces the risk of smoking-related health problems, including, but not limited to, lung cancer or heart disease, for smokers who continue to smoke;

4. The product reduces the amount of nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, or any other component of cigarette smoke that smokers get without changing a cigarette's taste or draw;

5. Smokers using the product will not compensate for the product's effects by increasing the number of cigarettes they smoke per day;

6. The product is effective in enabling or helping smokers to quit smoking without withdrawal symptoms; or

7. The product provides immediate health benefits, including, but not limited to, reduced congestion, coughing or windedness, for smokers who continue to smoke;

unless, at the time it is made, respondents possess and rely upon competent and reliable scientific evidence that substantiates the representation.
