Electronic cigarettes should not be subject to the same regulation as other products that contain nicotine  Recent studies indicate that electronic cigarettes help people quit smoking by providing nicotine without the harmful tar and additive chemicals  Although electronic cigarettes also contain their own additives, they are much less harmful in the short-term than traditional cigarettes
People who smoke electronic cigarettes are ten times less likely to die from cancer than smokers of traditional cigarettes
The recent studies are not conclusive.
