A new study actually asked the questions that need to be asked to work out if e-cigarettes are a gateway to cigarettes, and (surprise, surprise) found no evidence of a gateway effect from vaping.

Since most vapers change e-liquids at least once during the course of a day’s vaping, Totally Wicked has provided a tank atomizer perfectly suited to our needs, allowing you to fill up with two different e-liquids and change between (or combine) them by simply twisting a selection dial.
Despite criticisms that vapers are simply continuing in their nicotine addiction, a new study has provided evidence that e-cigarette users are much less addicted to vaping than they once were to smoking. Not only do e-cigs drastically reduce harm, they curb addiction too.
A new study from the UK has found that the number of 10 to 11 year olds who’d ever tried e-cigarettes was actually higher than the corresponding number for tobacco cigarettes, with the researchers arguing the finding "reinforces concerns" about a potential gateway to smoking.
A new study from Professor Riccardo Polosa has found that second-generation e-cigarettes are effective for helping smokers quit. Two-thirds of the smokers studied, who had no intention of quitting, either stopped smoking entirely or reduced their daily smoking by at least half after starting vaping.
A new survey of Minnesota-based middle and high school students has provided further evidence that the potential gateway to smoking is not a genuine concern, but, as is the pattern with such studies, it’s being presented as showing the exact opposite.
Are second generation e-cigs more effective for quitting than cig-a-likes? The latest clinical trial answers with an emphatic "yes": finding that second-gen e-cigs significantly reduce cravings and many smokers – even ones with no intention of quitting – successfully kick their combusted tobacco habit.
The new data from the 2013 National Youth Tobacco Survey hasn't generated as much misinformed panic as the 2012 survey, because while it shows a marked increase in "current" vaping, smoking is continuing to decline. Perhaps the figures just aren’t scary enough this time around…
After a string of court cases in Germany revolving around the possible classification of e-liquids as medicines, the Federal Administrative Court has decisively ruled that they don't meet the definition, and e-liquids can therefore continue being sold freely.
The newest thinly-veiled attempt to stoke fear of e-cigarettes is a curious one: e-cigarettes can infect your computer with malware.
New York City Councilman Costa Constantinides introduced a bill on Tuesday proposing a ban on all flavored e-cigarettes, flatly claiming, “These flavors are direct marketing to children.
Big Tobacco companies Altria (of Marlboro cigarettes and MarkTen e-cigarettes) and RJ Reynolds (maker of Camels and Vuse e-cigarettes) are taking some further steps to bolster their image and further their standing in the e-cigarette market by placing some excessive warnings on their vaping products.
Regulators’ decisions need to be based on sound science rather than unsupported assertions and media-driven hysteria, but we increasingly see more weight given to the latter when it comes to e-cigs.
Apparently not satisfied with their first attempt at misleading the public about the extent of e-cigarette use among young people (nor with stoking the fires of the absurd e-liquid poisonings fears), the CDC has published a new study.
A new piece of research has been released suggesting that the primary benefit of e-cigarettes, that they help people quit smoking, isn’t true when it comes to cancer patients.
A new study by the New England Journal of Medicine claims that e-cigarettes lead to cocaine abuse. Find out why this is pure junk science.
The AHA comes out in support of the FDA’s proposal, and even advocates further actions such as including vaping in smoke-free air laws and increasing taxes, but manages to hold this view despite conducting a fairly reasonable analysis of the evidence beforehand.
A recent study from Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos and colleagues suggests that unlike cigarette smoking, vaping doesn’t have any adverse effects on acute heart function.
A new study reports that “E-cigarette secondhand smoke has increased levels of toxic metals.” Are vapers exposed to smaller quantities of harmful components than smokers?
A new study looking at data from over 26,500 European respondents has provided further evidence that non-smokers don’t try vaping very often at all.
