Here is an article that appeared today on one of the progressive news web sites - Alternet;

Are E-Cigarettes the Holy Grail for Hopelessly Addicted Smokers? | Drugs | AlterNet

"Technology, not social stigma, smoking bans or $12-a-pack cigarettes, may finally doom Big tobacco's market in dealing death to tens of millions. The looming threat to the industry's bottom line is the e-cigarette, a remarkable device that simulates smoking a real cigarette so effectively that life-long smokers can switch without experiencing any cravings or symptoms of withdrawl."

"Unsurprisingly, the tobacco lobby, along with Big Pharma, which is trying to guard its share of the multi-billion dollar market for nicotine patches and drug therapies to help people quit smoking, has mounted a bruising battle to keep this technology out of the hands of American smokers."

This is one of the best articles I've read about eCigs in a long time. Make sure you read all 3 pages of the article.
