Even e-cigarettes which contained a small amount of nicotine were relatively safe, said Laugesen. There was about one-tenth as much nicotine per puff compared to a normal cigarette.

Anti-smoking group Quit said it was hesitant to take a position on the safety of e-cigarettes as more research was needed. "The strength of e-cigarettes is that they provide nicotine without the thousands of damaging chemicals found in cigarettes and tobacco, which is certainly a good thing," said a spokesman.

"Our concern is that, at face value, they appear to reinforce the behaviour of having a cigarette. It's reinforcing the wrong habit and potentially without addressing the addiction.

"We need to de-normalise smoking and e-cigarettes seem to role-model the wrong behaviour."

I wish the FDA would read this.

We should invite Obama to the forum. He still smokes, I think.

All in favor of Vaping in the Oval Office raise their hands.

I'm confused. What's wrong with reinforcing the behavior of having a cigarette if it keeps you from having a cigarette?
