THAT is why they should not be "regulated".
E-cigs SAVE LIVES cigarettes TAKE LIVES

E-cigs MIGHT save lives. For some random technology that came out of China a half dozen years ago, people are putting A LOT of faith in it's "healthier" aspects. Fact is that there is no real extensive research done on the inhalation of pure nicotine vapor, and the research that has been done on E-cigs thus far has mostly leaned in the direction that their claims aren't as pure as they at first seemed. Sure this could be the mastery of the tobacco lobby, which is by all means powerful beyond belief, but why would they fight something that they stand a chance to profit from too? I'm kind of surprised the big tobacco companies haven't adopted the idea themselves, but I imagine they wouldn't make quite the profit on Ecigs as they do a pack of taylor mades. perhaps it is a move on their part to move the profit potential into their own court. i don't know. But throwing blind faith towards it is a little silly, and imho i think ecigs do need to be looked at a little more closely...
If you feel that E-cigs have done you well, and many do, well awesome. Personally I don't think they should receive any different treatment than cigarettes.
