"Still, if electronic cigarette have become more popular and the go-to product for a bit of nicotine and rebellion, this could be a very good thing. Studies already show that electronic cigarettes are far less harmful and far less addictive. Some researchers have said that if everyone that smokes used electronic cigarettes instead, the smoking deaths per year in the US alone would drop from more than 400,000 a year to somewhere around 4,000 a year. That would all have to start with getting teens to use e-cigs instead of smoking."
