a? Eh? New's to me. I will inform the person sitting next to me smoking an e-cig that it's smelly.

That's unfair actually. I really rather like the myriad of scents he has. Mint, butterscotch, raspberry. I kinda wanted to try it, but I don't actually smoke anything.

b? maybe? The smoke is the issue, really.

c? maybe? At least the smoker I know deliberately pushes down the nicotine ratio he gets from his supplier.

You can argue for erring on the side of safety, but the level of safety you are talking about is unreasonable. What we can say going in, what we know about how cigarettes cause cancer, suggest to us strongly that e-cigs are safer. It is reasonable to act that that assumption, even if there is a possibility that something horrible would be revealed about them later.
