I still think it LIKELY that vaping is better for you, long term, than smoking, BUT NOT if there's no control over what gets put into the 'juice'.

Also, even if e-cigs, with controlled juice, turn out to be 'mostly harmless', then I still wouldn't recommend that people decide to START their nicotine habit with them. Just avoid the nicotine habit altogether. However, if you're a current smoker, I still say that cigs are a KNOWN carcinogen and known to be bad for you. Vaping, well, probably not as bad so long as there's some trust on what's in the juice.
