    Use them to quit, that's it.

    I was looking into selling them a while ago, and so did quite a bit of research into health implications - obviously, they're not great for you, but they're a shitload less harmful than the cigarettes they replace.

    Just don't go for a cheap brand, or (*especially*) cheap refills.

    Just like a lot of things made in China (which is where these all come from), there's always a chance of contamination or wrong-chemical usage. The diethylene glycol referred to in JSK's link is the same chemical that slipped into American pet food supplies and a batch of toothpaste a couple of years ago - it's not a fault of the eCigarette companies themselves.
