WASHINGTON — A journal published by the American Medical Association has corrected four articles from two of the nation’s top tobacco researchers, Ray Niaura and David Abrams, after STAT uncovered undisclosed ties the New York University professors had with the e-cigarette company Juul.
The articles corrected Tuesday by JAMA Network Open include a highly cited study comparing the level of toxic substances users of e-cigarettes are exposed to versus smokers of combustible cigarettes, and a study that examined whether e-cigarettes influenced the amount that young adults who had previously tried cigarettes lit up. There is no evidence that Juul played any role in any of the articles. Niaura and Abrams were each co-authors on two of the four articles.
