They're still better than normal cigarettes. Either way, they're both bad for you to some degree. I won't touch either. I only support electronic cigarettes because they don't kill people as quickly. They also help people quit.

Yes, it may be carcinogenic. And?
It would be interesting to have a comparison with real cigarettes, street pollution, industrial food, etc.

This is an FDA bulletin from 2009.

eCigaretts have moved on since then in terms of the product and the quality of the product.

My partner used eCigs, and given the choice between real tobacco products or eCigs, I know which one I would rather he uses!

There is an ongoing campaign within the UK to ban/regulate such products, my view is that this is probably being orchestrated by the tobacco industry who have been loosing revenue due to eCig usage in the UK.

As you say ObW, many people use them to try to wean themselves off tabacco:

Nevertheless, much more investigation needs to be done to find out what the real effects of e-cigarettes are.

Weedz that is where I learned how to roll tobacco. All of my 'friends' would come to me to have me roll bud for them. Never liked the stuff personally, but I got real good with rolling herb in paper.

The reason why ECigs are so promising is not because they are completely harmless, but because they are less harmful, even by a little bit.
