1. So how does this compare to a regular cigarette?

    Notice that whenever the ecigarette is tested in terms of health it is test compared to nothing at all? Is an electronic cigarette safer than a real cigarette? That is what needs to be studied. Of course they aren't "good" for you but that is not the point of them. I would like to have this exact study done but with the use of a real cigarette and then compare all of these numbers. Then, and only then would this be worthy of being called a "study". Also the title of this article is misleading: "the e-cigarette caused an immediate increase in airway resistance, lasting for 10 minutes." Where was the part that said someones airway resistance being affected for 10 minutes causes "harm". When I brush my teeth every morning and evening I end up choking from inhaling the toothpaste vapor. I wonder how much and for how long my airway is restricted afterward?
