Set a quit date for quitting conventional, e-cigarettes and everything else. We don’t think that will be the long-term or useful way to look at it because e-cigarettes may continue and fuel nicotine addiction. Nicotine is not innocuous — it’s known to be harmful and have cardiovascular effects."[/quote]

They still classify it as a destructive habit, since it continues nicotine addiction, and they address it as a threat to younger people.
...But the good news is that this endorsement may pave the way for more smokers to take up vaping instead of trying (and often failing) cold turkey or patches.
Do you know anyone that has used e-cigs to break a conventional smoking habit?

What pisses me off about electronic cigarettes: people believing that they are perfectly ok to smoke around others and are healthy. Do they really think that because it's cleaner that the "water vapor" they breathe out doesn't still have nicotine in it? You're still getting your fix through it. Second hand smoke is still there, and when you're smoking in the middle of class or in a no smoking area, I'm going to get pissed at you.
