E-cigs contain a mixture in most cases of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, ethyl alcohol, and food grade flavourings. Some contain nicotine (the one's I use do). While nicotine is acutely toxic if you drink it, it is not a carcinogen, neither are the other ingredients (they are all FDA approved food additives). Second hand risk from these devices is negligible, and the odour is generally not offensive.
So here you have an alternative to smoking that is non-toxic (unless you drink the liquid in quantity... a foolish and improper waste of the substance). It is safe for use around others, and is an excellent alternative to smoking for those who already smoke.
The government will ban this as soon as they possibly can.
