This story is nearly a month old, but I just stumbled upon it.

E-cigarettes gain popularity with Oklahomans trying to quit smoking | News OK

Bob Clark didn't have any plans to quit smoking.


He smoked about 20 bowls of pipe tobacco a day and maybe 10 cigarettes, give or take a few.


But a recent visit to his doctor changed his mind.


“I wasn't a chain smoker — I was a heavy smoker,” he said. “And I decided that enough was enough, especially when I found out that I had some precancerous cells on the bottom of my mouth.”


Clark soon bought an electronic cigarette, or e-cigarette, a device some Oklahomans are using to try to quit smoking. And some e-cigarette researchers say within 10 years, e-cigarette users will surpass the number of smokers in the U.S.

Nationwide, about 21 percent of adults who smoke traditional cigarettes had used electronic cigarettes

Interesting
I've noticed recently more and more articles
mentioning a percentage of smokers who have tried e-cigarettes.
This article states about 21% ... others have quoted as high as 30-40%.

I'm starting to notice second rounders are re-looking at the technology. I've had two within the last week that are considering coming back to attempt again after a year or so with a startup and fail.
