Digital Smoking Won’t Solve The Problem

Digital Smoking Won't Solve The Problem

At least where I live, smoking in a public place is becoming harder and harder to do. It's banned inside most public places in Washington State and several others. Heck, you can't even do it outside many of these places. The pressure is on for the smokers to quit their evil habit.

Enter this interesting device from Crown7. It looks like a cigarette. It feels like a cigarette. It even gives you nicotine like a cigarette. But it doesn't smoke. Unless you count the smoke created by propylene glycol.

The initial investment is anywhere from $64.95 to $149.95, depending on whether you want the cigar, cigarette, or pipe variety. The cartridge packs run $2 each, which is cheaper than a pack of cigarettes these days.

The smokers can smoke, yet those of us who don't want to smoke can still breathe. Everyone wins. Well, if you count being addicted to tobacco winning, anyway.

    Interesting write up I wouldn’t be shocked if this catches on, with the going green trend this fits in perfectly.

    Somehow that quiting way sounds more promising than this. I definitely approve smoking ban although I am a smoker, perhaps this way I’ll become more determined to to quit. And yeah, this device can’t make me feel like a winner.

    Finland recently introduced a similar ban and, as this story reports, they’ve found there are some nasty side effects to having a smoke-free pub or nightclub. Specifically, they have found that cigarette smoke was covering up all manner of other nasty odours mainly the ones emitted by the patrons.

    An excellent innovation for smokers
    RuToo has produced the first electronic cigarette that truly looks like a cigarette. The new RuToo SH2 Minismoker is 89 millimetres long and weighs just 8 grams. You can barely tell the difference between a normal cigarette and the RuToo SH2. In short, this is an ideal replacement for cigarettes, which are no longer permitted in catering establishments.

    What started out as a film-making adventure in Africa, transformed into much more, when the three young American’s (Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Laren Poole) original travels took a divine turn, and they found themselves stranded in Northern Uganda. They discovered children being kidnapped nightly from their homes and subsequently forced to become fight as child soldiers. This film is dedicated to exposing this tragic, and amazingly untold story.
