In five years, after we start to see the longer term affects of E-cigs, we will think about this like it was trying to cure cancer by getting Aids.

Total "lay" opinion but I can't imagine delivering nicotine to your system in any way shape or form can be remotely healthy.

Nicotine is actually not that bad. It's the burnt organics or "tar" that cause the real problems. Overall, still not healthy, but exponentially better than inhaling smoke

Sorry, I wasn't trying to suggest that this wasn't infinitely better than smoking a cigarette, just someone asked "are there any harmful effects to vaping". For all I know nicotine is like caffeine or transfats. Really not that healthy for your but you can consume it every day.

I would say that is reasonably accurate
