Yeah, I have two friends who were both long term cigarette smokers quit after using e-cigs for a short period of time.

My understanding is that without the free-based nicotine in most (all?) commercial tobaccos, the addictive nature of smoking is significantly reduced.

Interestingly, one of those friends is now able to smoke socially at will. Flipped some addiction trigger or something. I would love to see a study on this.
