I don't smoke, but I know a brilliant hacker who does and he has tried electronic cigarettes and he loves them. We were at brunch once and he showed it to me and it was quite an amazing little device. As you inhale, the current of the air heats up an element that vaporizes the liquid contained inside. When he exhaled, the smoke wasn't at all like typical cigarette smoke and was much more pleasant to second hand smokers. I don't usually recommend things I've never tried, but if I was a smoker, I'd try these and probably recommend them to other smokers. I haven't done the math on cost, but if they are healthier, which they seem like they would be, then perhaps they are worth it.
