Much like any drug, it is very difficult to know a priori without doing the experiment. It would be unethical to administer cigarettes or e-cigarettes in a randomized, controlled fashion, but we will probably observe over the coming decades the epidemiologic impact (much as we did for the consequences of cigarettes in the 20th Century).
Suggestive studies could be performed in whatever animal models have been most instructive for studying the effects of smoking.

Assuming that countries where such tests can be easily performed don't regulate them into the grave anyway. Uk and the EU are notably gearing up to kill them off.
