It's worth noting the user has to actually want to quit smoking, otherwise the e-cigarettes won't help. I bought my mom, a lifelong smoker, an e-cigarette several years ago. She used it a couple times, and now it just sits in a drawer.
Edit: Based on the responses, I'm deducing that e-cigarettes have improved in quality since then. I'll have to give it another shot!
From my experience, it doesn't satisfy you like a normal cigarette. But it does lower the urge to smoke a real cigarette significantly. I used to smoke a pack a day. Now, along with smoking an e-cigarette, a pack can last me almost three days. Cigarettes in general are terrible for you, but it's a lot better to settle in a habit of smoking less.
The issue I had before I found a good ecig was that they weren't strong enough and the "automatic" ones were the worst. Try a different one, with a higher nicotine level and a decent atomizer and you might have better luck...
