I know that about 6 weeks ago Virginia Commonwealth University was asking for volunteers for electronic cigarette clinical study but I have not found the results for that.
I did just find this though :
E-Cigs Less Dangerous.

ScienceDaily (Dec. 16) — In a new report that bucks the concerns raised by the Food and Drug Administration, a Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) researcher concludes that electronic cigarettes are much safer than real cigarettes and show promise in the fight against
tobacco-related diseases and death. The review, which will be published online ahead of print this month in the Journal of Public Health Policy, is the first to comprehensively examine scientific evidence about the safety and effectiveness of electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, said Michael Siegel, professor of community health sciences at BUSPH. “Taking these products off the market would force thousands of users to return to cigarette smoking," Siegel said. "Why would the FDA and the anti-smoking groups want to take an action that is going to seriously harm the public's health? The only ones who would be protected by a ban on e-cigarettes are the
tobacco companies, as these new products represent the first real threat to their profits in decades." Comment: the problem with activists is that they are very selective about the research they quote to bolster their point. There are still 20% of the population that has not been able to quit smoking and for whom e-cigarettes will be far safer than smoking regular cigarettes.
