Nah, I think that article is posed wrong. They compare smoking the electronic cigs to not smoking at all. Of course not smoking is better. Much much better. But by blocking them from the market they are denying another use case. For people that already smoke tobacco. I don't know if you smoke tobacco and if so, if you tried ecigs. I do, and I have. And smoking ecigs is much much much better although in a "lesser evil" manner. The e-liquid (what gets vaporized in ecigs) manufacturers should, I believe, purposefully try and try pretty hard to mach the level of toxins and carcinogens in common cigarettes. They don't. What is readily perceivable is to a net BIG gain. I have used these devices for about 3 months last year. They were wonderful. I would ABSOLUTELY prefer them to regular cigarettes even if they would not have a wonderful potential for quitting smoking altogether which I strongly believe (with arguments) they do. Outright denying that opportunity should be considered criminal in my humble opinion.
