If was sitting next to that person, I wouldn't walk away smelling like I was hottubbing in a tub filled with nasty cigarette butts.

Cigarette smoke just clings to me when I'm around it, I would have to wash my hair before I go to bed at night else I would wake up in the morning not just with nasty smelling hair but all my sheets would smell like smoke too.

So as 'silly' as that person looks at least his vapors will not make me stink.

That being said, they still look ridiculous.

Especially when I'm at the mall, and I walk by the E-Cig kiosks and they have the sales people walking around in circles smoking on E-Cigs. I'm guessing they want to make it look cool and glamorous to the customer, but it honestly just looks very sad and pathetic.

so in the end there is all value.

You're right - those e-cig kiosks vendors look kinda idiotic.

Yes, we still don't know all of the health risks associated with e-cigs, but I know many people who have quit using the e-cig method (and most use the non-nicotine variety).
