Dr Carl Phillips, a well known expert in harm reduction, has just published a blog post entitled:

" Responding to, “but they are still *addicted*!!! "

Some excellent ideas about how to respond to people that say e-cigs are no better because you are "still addicted" and you should "just quit"

I had exactly that conversation today. I just said that the killer in cigarettes is the burning tobacco, not nicotine - the problem is not the drug, it's the delivery system. He actually conceded the point so I'm glad to have educated someone today.
