After a little research, I've found there is an actual clinical trial that is (at this time) recruiting.

The study information can be found at this address...
Evaluating the Acute Effects of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Devices Marketed to Smokers. - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov

I have nothing to do with the trial, however if it's found to be a positive direction from tobacco, then it'd greatly help the cause of getting pv's completely legalized and approved.

Purpose

The study's aim is to develop a clinical model that can be used to measure the nicotine delivery and tobacco/nicotine abstinence-suppressing capability of electronic devices that are marketed as a means to deliver nicotine to cigarette smokers. The study will compare the nicotine delivery, cardiovascular effects, and tobacco withdrawal suppressing effects of two devices currently marketed in the U.S.: Crown Seven and NJOY.


Specifically, the effects of these devices will be compared with the effects of own brand cigarettes (positive control), and an abstinence condition (sham smoking; puffing from an unlit cigarette). The primary hypothesis is that the nicotine delivery, withdrawal suppression, and other effects of electronic devices marketed as a means to deliver nicotine to smokers can be measured during a period of acute exposure.

just so everyone sees it:

...Individuals who report current attempts to quit smoking, previous experience with Crown Seven or NJOY...

If I lived near Richmond, I would volunteer.
