NHS England seem to be having some difficulty answering questions about e-cigs. Their latest effort is described as (thanks to Red Head Full of Steam):
KSS REAG (Respiratory Expert Advisory Group) meeting we had a very interesting discussion about e-cigarettes, the pros and the cons and potential uses, to try to form a consensus on where we stood as clinicians regarding e-cigarettes and their use

2. Should we be encouraging their use to aid quitting? Answer: Yes
3. Are e-cigarette users counted as smokers? Answer: No
4. Should e-cigarettes be banned on Smokefree sites? Answer: No
