I think a lot of people will start using these as an alternative to regular cigarettes.  Since there is no tobacco smoke, they will most likely be allowed in public places.  Basically the E-cigarette delivers 1/6 the amount of nicotine and lesser amounts, even zero nicotine. 
   
    "Thanks to its atomization chamber, a “smart chip” control mechanism, and a simple lithium battery, the device actually lights up when puffed on – just like a real cigarette – and then it produces a harmless vapor or mist that looks like smoke. Nicotine is diluted by an internal heating system, so that the user gets a “hit” of nicotine that can then be inhaled to quell cravings. The smoke-like mist evaporates into thin air within a matter of seconds, and the E-Cigarette can be slipped back into a pocket or purse for use at another time."

It could seem like a good solution for someone who is trying to quit.  It's like an economical form of a typical cigarette.

Hmm.. This sounds like a good idea and way to help people stop smoking. I wonder how much it costs. It says that you can reuse it at another time, how many times can you smoke the same cigarette?
