Well yeah, the e-cig is WAY better for you. And infinitely better for the people around you. Not switching to the e-cig because "it's still bad for you," is like an overweight person not switching from junk food to nuts and fruits because "they still have fat and carbs in them."

The e-cig is better for the smoker. It's better for the people around the smoker. It's WAY better for the environment. It's better for the smoker's romantic prospects. It's better for the smoker's wallet. I really don't see the downside.
