“A new survey (National Tobacco Behavior Monitor) came out just last week indicating that 3 million Americans have quit smoking by switching to e-cigarettes or vapor products,” says Bill Godshall, founder and executive director of Smokefree Pennsylvania.

I'm one of em :)

Godshall admits that there are still some questions about any health risks associated with e-cigarettes but the consensus of scientific studies conducted so far is that “they are 99 percent—plus or minus one percent—less hazardous than cigarettes.”

“I think we need to look beyond that and say ‘hey, if something ‘s that much less hazardous than cigarettes, we should support it’ instead of saying ‘unless we know it’s 100 percent we can’t allow people to use it;’ or we should tax the hell out of it and demonize it,”
yup!

Finally...someone bring the thunder down on these smoking/antz dingbats that want to tax the bejesus out of ecigs!!!!
