Electronic cigarette (e-cig) use has now surpassed traditional cigarette use among middle and high school students, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This leaves many parents, public health officials and consumers asking whether e-cigarettes are better or worse for lung health than traditional cigarettes. Now, a team of researchers adds its findings to others that suggest nicotine in any form is damaging to lungs. This new research also suggests that non-nicotine-containing e-cig solutions have a damaging effect on lung health, leading researchers to call for more e-cig research.

Research is worthless unless it's peer reviewed and duplicated.
One thing is certain: I have read at least a hundred sources testify that e-cigs helped them kick the cigarette habit.
No manner of smoking is good for you, but which are less harmful than regular cigarettes?

I don't think they're saying it is more unhealthy than cigarettes. They just want people to know the e-cigarettes are not good for them either.
