Still has nicotine. Nicotine is not good for you, your heart in particular, I believe. But better than inhaling cigarette smoke into your lungs.

I've been trying to quit for the last six months, and I tried the e-cig thing; it didn't really work. It just made me miss real cigarettes.
they have non- nicotine E -CIgs as well and I found it better for smoking cessation than products like gum patches with nicotine...I think they have over estimated the role of nicotine in smoking addiction...and it is the act of smoking itself that is most addictive

Yeah, I am inclined to agree EOTS.
While the addiction to nicotine is real enough to make one sick when detoxing, it's the habituation of the smoking process that is truly hard to give up.
I quite smoking about 50 days ago and while I have no withdrawls from the drug, I still crave THE RITUTAL OF SMOKE when I first get up in the AM, and after pretty much every meal, too
RITUALS (smoking is certainly a ritual) are extremely habituating. Performing rituals causes our brains to produce opiate like pleasurable drugs, too.

A week after you quit smoking, the nicotine withdrawal is done. It's the ritual from there out.
I can't even tell you how many times I've gotten over the physical withdrawals, but I've still gone back to smoking each time.

Of course it's not the act of smoking. I know a lot of people think that smoking behavior is even more dangerous than smoking and object to chewing on a straw because it's the same dangerous hand to mouth movement.
What's dangerous are the additives in cigarettes and the smoke itself. E-cigs don't have smoke.

E-cigs do have smoke.
Watch this guy smoking one.

It does not have all of the poisonous chemicals that cigs have, like Tar

I went back to smoking sometimes years after having quit. The longest I was cig free was 6 years before I went back to smoking. I just didn't like not smoking. Not only that, but not smoking made me very resentful that I did not get any benefit from not smoking. No food did not taste better. No it wasn't any easier to breathe as a non smoker than it was smoking 2 1/2 packs a day. It was all a lie and I damn well resented it.
I was introduced to e-cigarettes by an employee who got one from his sister. As soon as I picked it up, I was done with cigarettes. I haven't had one since although I still like the smell.

No benefit from not smoking? Not even mentioning overall health, how about NOT sending $150/week up in smoke! Hell, a dude I work with quit smoking...and in a year, he'd saved enough money to buy a motorcycle!
They are just filled with different chemicals. Pick your poison.

I figure I'm up to $336 saved since I quit.
I don't really have it though because I think much of it went to food I'm buying now and going out and socializing that I wasn't doing when I smoked.
In fact, I think I now have less money than I did.
Feel better of course, and I suppose I smell better too.
