Of course everyone on here all know from first hand experience they are are effective if not better than conventional NRT but unfortunately this article may lead people to believe E cigs pose no risk to health, as it says in the article - "However, he did call for longer-term studies into the consequences of using the devices." so the report doesn't tell us anything we don't already know really. I'm not sure whats positive about this. If the study concluded that e-cigs have absolutely Zero health risks then i would be shouting "Yipee" etc etc. 

The reason i might sound so negative about this is im not one of those standard thread replies you see all over the net "i smoked 30 a day for 30 years untill...."   Infact i only smoked for 2 months after a 10 year quit and now i'm having issues getting off the e-cig and i worry stupid about putting this in my lungs.

Thanks.

Compared to inhaling a very toxic mix of hot gasses and particulates proven to cause massive health issues including cancer - E-cigs aren't something to worry about.

If the choice is nothing or E-cigs then nothing is safer, but if it's E-cigs or burning tobacco it's a no brainer.

 Yes. What he said. I used to worry about mouth and throat cancer (I smoked little cigars). Now I vape instead and I don't worry.
Sure, there may be risks in vaping and we don't yet know what these are. But tobacco risks are not only well known and understood, they are also very serious ones. I, for one, am more than happy to vape instead.
