Good on anyone who is using one to quit smoking. But you shouldn't be using them in offices or any other public places that you wouldn't smoke in. It seems like every week more info comes out about how the vapour and 2nd hand vapour is still dangerous to you and people around you. Just not quite as dangerous and cigarette smoke.

Glantz that was interviewed for that article is well known in the e-cig world as being vehemently opposed to them and some would say spreading misinformation. All you have to do is google Glantz +e-cigs and you will get a lot of articles "debunking" what Glantz says in regards to e-cigs.

While I do believe they are a less harmful version of regular cigarettes, I don't think they are as bad as what Glantz is claiming.
