Electronic cigarettes

A key and interesting question doing the rounds at the moment concerns electronic or electric cigarettes.

The manufacturer's claim that these beat the ban and are currently legal to smoke in the office, plane, pub and club.  They back this up with the logical arguments that there is no danger of passive smoking,
massively reduced risk to health according to the experts they have interviewed, no tar or carcinogens and no smell.

What is an electronic cigarette?
"An electronic cigarette, electric cigarette or vaporize cigarette, is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine or non-nicotine vaporized solution. It is an alternative to smoked tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. In addition to purported nicotine delivery, this vapour also provides a flavour and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no smoke or combustion is actually involved in its operation".
