If we're going with the "real" approach to that, it would take a lot of energy, wouldn't be instant, and cause potential permanent damage to the user. Breaking bonds requires a lot of energy, hence why we don't vaporize when hit by trucks and the like. It would take time to disassemble, transport, and resemble the body, and there's no guarantee all the molecules will make it there/get put in their proper place.

Of course, we can just go with the "it's a fictional universe, so screw the rules" approach. That works just as well.
