Very nice :) Glad to see some positive news
The study's outcome revealed that:

* Six per cent of smokers quit within two weeks increasing to 45 percent within eight weeks.

* Fifty-two percent of all patients reported both increased levels of energy and visible improvement in their physical appearance

* When asked what factors about smoking tobacco cigarettes were the hardest to give up, 49 percent of patients said nicotine cravings and 24 percent the habit itself. Twenty seven percent of all participating smokers said that a combination of all factors � the habit, nicotine, the taste and feeling of smoking � made it hard to quit.

When asked if an e-cigarette could act as an agent to overcome all the physical and psychological challenges to quit tobacco smoking, all doctors said 'yes'.

Dr Clifford Hulley, one of the participating medical professionals in the survey, reported that "an e-cigarette is the most effective treatment method on the market for quitting tobacco smoking".

    Great confirmation of what we already knew and great news -

    Still it walks that fine line with the law - If it is proven to be a smoking cessaion device then it is most definitly subject to the years long FDA approval and clinical trials route - If it is proven that you are switching to that and not quitting use of the device as well then it is back in the realm of alternative way of smoking rather than a cessation method - Cessation products are not approved for long term use - All in all GREAT NEWS though :)
