A friend of mine has to do a pro/con speech for her public speaking class -I told her she should do it on e-cigarettes. I gave her the link to CASAA, and I told her to come here, but are there any other good resources she can check out? I need both sides of the argument - not just the pro e-cig side. TIA.
Need links to good info please

Dr. Brad Rodu has also written on the topic:
Tobacco Truth: Misinformation from Three Senior FDA Officials
Tobacco Truth: The FDA Crusade Against E-Cigarettes
Tobacco Truth: Federal Judge to FDA: E-Cigarettes Are Tobacco Products, Not Drugs or Devices
Tobacco Truth: FDA: E-cigarettes Are Harmful
Health New Zealand has studied one brand (Ruyan):

Ecigarette mist harmless, inhaled or exhaled
If your friend is going to write about what the FDA has to say, please urge her to consult the actual lab report, rather than the FDA's press release about the report.

Keep in mind that the FDA report is supposed to be a toxicology report. The thing about toxins is that "the dose is in the poison" meaning that any substance--even water--is toxic in large enough quantities. Therefore, no toxicology report should just tell you what substances were "detected". All toxicology reports should list the quantities of the substances found. The usual way of reporting quantities of tobacco-Specific Nitrosamines (TSNA) carcinogens is "nanogram per gram" (ng/g). Tell her to look for the ng/g of TSNAs in the FDA report. Lots of luck finding that. You will, however, find quantities in the Healtlh New Zealand reports.
