if they can be charged via usb port then of course they can be used as usb drives, and usb drives are being used to hack computers since years, the time we used to have dial up connections.

Next time, you can hack a PC using a lighter or a match stick. Fire up someone's PC and steal their HDD only.

Nowadays you can't trust anything that starts with an "e" or is "smart".

Now let's talk seriously. Nothing to say to who reported the news (@hamo), but I think who, nowadays is still infected by usb, has not adopted the most elementary security policies. I do not want to be bad, but I'm not sorry for them.
Too cynical?

E-smoking will be like do a bargain with Dormammu.
You trade your computer's health for (maybe) your health.
