That is one of those snippets of info that is akin to each side in a legal matter finding (buying) an 'expert' to say that their side of the case is the valid one.

Ok…RB, I agree and actually did a little research…
The ACSH is known as an "industry-friendly" group
In 2005, a critical piece in the magazine Mother Jones[29] reported that the ACSH's current medical director,[30] Gilbert Ross, had served time in a federal prison camp and had his medical license revoked for Medicare fraud. ACSH responded with an article on its website stating that Ross was remorseful for the role he played in the scam,

What was in Osama Bin Laden's tape collection?"Bin Laden wanted to create an image of an effective militant - no easy job, because he was known as a bit of a dandy, who wore designer desert boots," says Miller.

Nestor Lopez, known as DJ Nestor, was getting into his car after leaving a club in the neighborhood when someone put a knife to his throat and demanded money. Lopez complied, but the man stabbed him repeatedly in the head, face and neck anyway.

frankly, i'm jealous..wish they'd existed when I was smoking more…..lots of benefits to them like not stinking up your clothes or place….
damn cigs are a tough addiction…this post is makin me want to have one and I've probably had a pack over the last year or two…
I do not think it is as simple as saying smoking ecigs is bad/good or safe/unsafe. There is no control over them at all (whether there should be or not is yet another discussion) so if one device was to solely use 100% water based vapor (aka steam) it would seem that such a device would be harmless. However once a manufacturer starts adding flavorings and whatever other chemicals to their products you might as well be drinking a glass full of those chemicals. The example I gave of liquid nicotine is a good case in point. When my dad was a research engineer for PM, the guys who handled the liquid nicotine were required to wear full hazmat suits even when they were carrying sealed containers of that crap. Saying we don't know if smoking ecigs is dangerous when many of them use liquid nicotine is playing ostrich. Even saying them are "less ungood" than smoking cigarettes is not grounded in logic, reason, or fact.
The NHS declares e-cigs 95% "safer" than traditional cigarettes.

Fans at a recent Jimmy Buffett show in Mansfield, Massachusetts left numerous homemade toilets outside the Xfinity Center. What is a homemade toilet, you ask? Well, according to Lt. Sam Thompson of the Mansfield police, the most common model of DIY crapper is a 5-gallon bucket lined with a foam pool noodle for more comfortable seating inside of a tent.

Again, I do not smoke.
Eating high sugar-added foods is unhealthy. Drinking a cup of arsenic is unhealthy. The fact they're both unhealthy does not make distinguishing between the relative levels of inherent unhealthiness of the two some sort of fool's errand.

It's not "a little bit of cancer" vs "a lotta bit of cancer." Both things increase one's chances of getting cancer. One of them does it moreso by a factor of X, where X is a not-entirely nailed-down but generally agreed to be staggeringly large number.
