The smokers may not be embracing E-cigarettes wholeheartedly but there is one group who does.
The second point is that the USB port allows the cyber criminals to physically access your gear.

The use of E-cigarette for injecting malware first surfaced on Reddit.
One particular executive had a malware infection on his computer from which the source could not be determined.
The executives system was patched up to date, had antivirus and up to date anti-malware protection.
Web logs were scoured and all attempts made to identify the source of the infection but to no avail.
Finally after all traditional means of infection were covered; IT started looking into other possibilities.
They finally asked the Executive, Have there been any changes in your life recently?
The executive answer Well yes, I quit smoking two weeks ago and switched to e-cigarettes.
Because you should, you damn well should.
When the charger was plugged into the execs system the malware infected it.
Plausible or fairy tale?
Combining the two reports gives you a plausible explanation for the malware spreading through a E-cigarette.
