Jan Esper
Jan Esper is the head of the dendro sciences division at the WSL (Wald Snee und Landschafft - en:Forest, Snow and Landscape) division of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). His research interests are Global Climate Change, Palaeoclimatology and Vegetation Dynamics.

His research has been part of the Hockey stick controversy with his temperature reconstructions, that have been cited as being evidence for both sides of the controversy.

 * How many WP:RS sources do you want? (note i'm not taking a part in this - but the link isn't weak - and it isn't WP:SYN) - links go from strong to weaker:
 * "...It shows that companies such as Exxon Mobil are working with top public relations firms and using many of the same tactics and personnel as those employed by Phillip Morris and RJ Reynolds to dispute the cigarette-cancer link in the 1990s."

E-cig proposal
Can i get consensus discussion going, on putting this sentence into the lead as a summary of the various reviews that we have? As far as i can tell, all of our recent reviews and other reports are supportive of this sentence:
 * ''While there is still limited research, and considerable uncertainty, and little knowledge about long-term effects, a growing body of research indicates that the health risks of e-cigarettes are significantly lower than regular cigarettes, and probably on par with licensed Nicotine replacement therapies

Suggestions for word-changes or caveats will be appreciated, since i'm not a particularly good word-smith, my forte lies in research, and fact-checking. I am aware that the NRT comparison is somewhat tentative, but both Grana and Caponnetto refers to it and summarizes the results.

Summarizing these assessments in recent reviews and reports:
 * Caponnetto et al.(2013): In fact, this tool appears to be much safer than traditional cigarettes and comparable in toxicity to conventional nicotine replacement products [28].
 * Saitta et al.(2014): Products that deliver nicotine without the smoke carry no more than 1% of the health risks of smoking[Phillips et al. 2006]  and Today, a growing body of scientific studies on e-cigarettes and liquids supports the efficacy and safety of these products. Even smokers who do not want to quit may do so when introduced to e-cigarettes [Polosa et al. 2011, 2013] and the overall level of risk is much lower than cigarette smoking, with no chemicals raising serious health concerns in e-liquids [Cahn and Siegel, 2011; Goniewicz et al. 2013]. In the most comprehensive systematic review of chemical studies to date, Burstyn concluded that there is no evidence that ‘vaping’, that is neologism, coined to indicate the act of vaporizingthe liquid contained in e-cigarettes, produces inhalable exposures to contaminants of aerosol that would warrant health concerns [Burstyn, 2013]. However, chronic inhalation data in humans are needed before any definite conclusions are made. 
 * Grana et al.(2014): However, subjects should be informed that, although e-cigarette aerosol is likely to be much less toxic than cigarette smoking, the products are unregulated. and The levels of toxicants in the aerosol were 1 to 2 orders of magnitude lower than in cigarette smoke but higher than with a nicotine inhaler (Table 1).
 * National Health England(2014): Overall however the hazards associated with use of products currently on the market is likely to be extremely low, and certainly much lower than smoking.
