I don't understand why we need these tests to show that e-cigs are safer then analogs. Smoking tobacco causes cancer, however nicotine itself does not. Therefore a device which vaporizes nicotine for inhalation can only be as harmful as nicotine alone is. There are a dozens of other tars, chemicals, and poisons that you are avoiding by vaping, so by avoiding these compounds aren't you being healthier?
Reality is that it most likely is safer. BUT, FDA rules say you cant make any health claims unless you have scientific proof (from clinical trials, etc)

Same reason they have the following on box of vitamins I recently bought (bolding by me)
The Complete Multivitamin Plus More(1) For Men
Did you know that prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and that emerging research suggests Selenium may reduce the risk of prostate cancer? One A Day® Men's Health Formula is a complete multivitamin plus key nutrients including Selenium to support a healthy prostate(2). Selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, FDA has determined that the evidence is limited and not conclusive.
(1) Compared to One A Day® Essential and with nearly twice the Selenium in Centrum® for prostate health
(2) This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
And that's for an item (selenium) that has had clinical trials performed.
