Why do people seem to have it in for the electric cigarette?

A recent news story on the BBC is a travesty giving underlying negativity towards electronic cigarettes a product which clearly can help people give up smoking.

There are many responsible companies selling e cigarettes that have there products tested under EU directives such as Elecorette and are doing there best to run a legitimate business. The media have interviewed the real bureaucracy machine, professors and leaders of government quangos trying to justify there salaries.

Its costs millions to perform in depth clinical trials on a product. This is completely unnecessary on an Elecorette e cigarette the product produces water vapour, the next thing you know they will be clinically testing kettles and steam irons.

Some E cigarettes have nicotine infused in to the vapors thus giving the smoker there nicotine fix much in the same way as patches, gum and inhalators do, products that presumably have had clinical trials?

Nobody is claiming nicotine is good for you, as we all know it isn't. However to downplay the real benefits of an e cigerette compared to a normal cigarette is irresponsible.

This is a simple product which does not contain the carcinogens and dangerous chemicals that are present in a cigarette. The product contains glycol propylene, flavoring and if required nicotine. The press release didn't mention that many people smoke Elecorettes with zero nicotine content and have completely given up smoking.

If you are worried about Glycol Propylene stop eating biscuits or using lip stick as this is present in most of these products and has been considered safe to use for years.

Come on guys what do you think about benefits of the electronic cigarette and here are some e cigarettes FAQS. Have you have any good or bad experiences with them?
