Interesting article on CNN

Somewhat alarming title for an otherwise positive article:
E-cigarettes: Helping smokers quit, or fueling a new addiction? - CNN.com

Was liking the article, for the most part, up to the concluding paragraph:

But as it seems e-cigarettes are here to stay, most calls are for informed regulation rather than prohibition. "The majority of e-cigarettes -- especially when they are well regulated -- are likely to be less toxic than cigarettes -- and that for smokers is an advantage," says Peruga.

We already live in a world where eCigs are likely to be less toxic than cigarettes. I still have standing wager with anyone reading this sentence who wishes to claim that more regulations will lead to less harm to ecig users.

Thus far, zero takers. I wonder why that is?

Great read!! These are the kinds of reports we need in the news. Report the facts, and let the people decide

I find it interesting that that this, Armand Peruga fellow, is manager of the WHO's tobacco Free Initiative, and he's saying that " E cigs are are likely to be less toxic than cigarettes -- and that for smokers is an advantage," , His boss on the other hand ( Margaret Chan ) wants to ban them entirely. He might not last long if he keeps contradicting her. At least this article is a little more balanced.
