As an e-cig enthusiast, I will attest that it just isn't the same. With the e-cig, I get the satisfaction of inhaling something and seeing the resulting cloud. I also get my nicotine fix. Sure, nicotine is a poison, but at least all I'm inhaling is nicotine and propylene glycol (or food grade vegetable glycerin); there is no burning or 4000+ chemicals as found in a traditional cigarette. The gum just doesn't do it for most people.

I do believe conspiracy to commit a crime is a real charge. Of course, you could say you are writing a novel or something too. It would really depend on how you approach the situation. Then again, you can't be charged for the crimes somebody else committed; if you were found to be encouraging it or that it was your intent, I'm sure you could be prosecuted for something.

I really hate seeing this argument about weed being laced with something else. Why would that happen? It would cost more money to the person lacing the ganja with no net benefit (unless we're talking about adding something like lead for additional weight). The concept of getting somebody hooked because the product has other drugs in it is fallacious at best. Outside of one or two fringe cases, what evidence do you have to substantiate the claim that dealers lace their grass on any regular basis? I'm all for legalization, but lets get our facts straight. When a drug dealer is selling herb with PCP, it is sold as an "enhancement" and costs more money (at which point there is a net benefit). The buyer is usually (I admit, not EVERY time) made aware of this fact before the purchase.
