Is tobacco safer than electronic cigarettes?

Please Digg and leave comments. Here is the article teaser on Digg:

Predictably, the public interpreted the FDA press release "Public Health Experts Warn About Electronic Cigarettes," to mean that there is immediate danger of contracting cancer from, or being poisoned by, electronic cigarettes. Many smokers believed the FDA was encouraging them to stick with smoking tobacco. Is tobacco safer?

Thanks!

Very nice. Loved this part (if accurate, obviously):

"The e-cigarette cartridges tested by the FDA can hold between 0.5 and 1 ml of liquid. The FDA testing found 1% DEG in one of the cartridges. It would take 100 of the 1 ml cartridges or 200 of the 0.5 ml cartridges to yield 1 ml of DEG. Therefore a 150-pound user would have to consume between 6800 and 13600 cartridges in a single day to take in a toxic level of DEG. On average, an e-cigarette user consumes one cartridge per day."
