When Are Cigarettes Not Cigarettes?
Author: lynthomas
A United Kingdom company has developed a virtual cigarette (Ecigarette), stating it can be smoked legally in a no smoking zone.
The ecigarette looks, feels and smokes like the real thing. The manufacturers state it is a cigarette, but without all the cancer causing chemicals. The smoke is vapour, which is created by atomizing liquid-suspended nicotine cartridges. Anyone can refill the cartridges, with a choice of over twenty different flavours. 'The only thing missing from a real cigarette, is the lack of cloying tobacco odour and second hand smoke', states the companies advertising.
The ecigs, however, have a unique warning attached to them. 'Because of the high concentration of nicotine, they must be used with caution. Keep all ejuice and cartridges out of the sight and reach of children and pets at all times. This is to safeguard your inquisitive pets and children. Please select a child safe cap at the checkout'.
Just one drop of pure nicotine is sufficient to kill a person, making it a lethal poison. Some researchers firmly believe nicotine is far more addictive than amphetamines, heroine, or alcohol.Ecig smokers have the appearance of smoking a real cigarette, while still getting their nicotine fix. How then can the company claim this is an attempt to aid smokers to quit the habit of smoking?
The smokeless cigarettes were handed out for free, in sway bags at the British film awards and passed out at an international trade show. The starter pack comes with 2 rechargeable batteries, 1 atomiser, 1 battery charger, 1 power cord, 5 assorted cartridges and 1 user manual. A 20 a day smoker will use 4-5 cartridges a day. The starting cost is from thirty-five pounds.
The company has even gone on to develop e-cigars and you are able to purchase some fancy looking cigarette cases, designed especially for the ecig. If it has the appearance of a cigarette and smokes like a cigarette, what do you say when you are arrested and hauled off to jail? "Excuse me officer, I am only virtually smoking. This is not really a cigarette".
