I'm a Registered Nurse (in the US) so I read this article fully expecting it to be anti-electronic cigarettes. But this is a UK article and I was pleasantly surprised. Very positive about e-cigs, says it's more successful than the alternatives (patches, gums, etc.), and the article encourages nurses to talk with their patients and encourage them to try e-cigs. It also mentions the benefits to children by reducing their exposure to second-hand smoke (if their parents switch to e-cigs).

Great article - thanks for sharing!
