“Dumb Head”… you're an idiot. You don't have any valid reason to call smoking e-cigarettes “inane and stupid”. My boyfriend recently broke a 25 year habit of smoking REAL cigarettes, which do (as Jim said) emit over 4,000 known chemicals, 69 of which are known without a doubt to cause cancer. Most e-cigarette cartridges contain 10 chemicals or less and NO known carcinogens. Do the math, moron. It's helped several people I know break long term habits where patches and gums just didn't cut it.  People are desperate to quit and sometimes the patches and the gums and the audio tapes and CDs and the hypno programs just don't work. Some people can't get past the act of having a cigarette in their hand and in their mouth all the time. Using an e-cigarette enables the smoker to put it down whenever he/she wants to whether there is an ashtray or not without risking burning themselves, their furniture, kids, pets, and etcetera. Not being able to put it down whenever they want causes a mental commitment to smoke the whole thing instead of throwing it away (everyone hates wasting things they pay good money for) and being able to put it down whenever they want enables them to continue carrying on conversation or work/play/whatever and eventually forget to use it (as my boyfriend has several times since he purchased his). Stop slamming something you don't know anything about.
