Kind of positive, with the negative mixed in (guess they want to make everyone happy!): "E-cigarettes offer smokers a reliable nicotine-delivery mechanism that simulates the act of smoking without exposing users and bystanders to the toxin-filled cloud conventional cigarettes produce."

Imho... we've seen many articles like this and the thrust of many of them is just to repeat the lies. The 'positive stuff' is just the grease to lubricate the path for the lies and misinformation.
