Well, this is the way I see it. Pretty much anyone using nicorette or nicotine patches are doing it solely to quit smoking, and with luck, will stop using the gum or patches. 

It may seem stupid, but legally e-cigs are not a smoking cessation device. While I did use vaping initially to stop smoking, I see it as a hobby now and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. 

Now I'm not happy about e-cigs getting taxed, but it's not surprising at all.
