My two pennorth?
If you don't use a nicotine bearing e-juice or cart, I can't see that it's going to do you any harm to try it, and you could easily blow $50 or more on any other "thing to try". Or, to put it another way, I'd far rather you got a 0-nic 901 out every three weeks to have a drag than suck on a proper cigarette and take the chance of just that one cell mutating.
My advice to my own offspring was simple - taking up cigarettes is a mug's game - not because of the nicotine (which is no worse than caffeine, in my view), but because of the odds of contracting a nasty illness are just too great.
Since the odds of the nasty illness are, it would seem, an order of magnitude smaller with an e-cig, and you're looking at using one or the other, go for the e-cig. It's much less likely to kill you than a cigarette habit.
