If you go to the National Institutes of Health government website for clinical trials and search for electronic cigarettes, you'll find 50 studies listed. Although 19 are listed as "completed," there is only one with published results. That one involved a study of analog cigarette smokers who had no desire to quit smoking. They gave the smokers a brand of Italian e-cigarette I've never heard of, waited awhile, and then recorded how many had quit smoking.
Out of all these studies, just one reported result? What's the point? Where are the results? Why aren't they published?

Here's one they said they would complete last month, but apparently it's still not finished and the last status report was 7 months ago. The idea is to compare the effectiveness of e-cigarettes vs. nicotine inhalers for smoking cessation. That would be interesting. Unfortunately, it seems the only e-cigarette they're using is the V2 cig. At least they picked a fairly high nicotine level at 24 mg.
