The e-cigarette

[Don]

I just had to laugh when I read this...."nicotine...without the toxins". Maybe someone needs to tell them that nicotine is itself a very potent toxin.


Anyway...this was lifted from CNN:

A Chinese company is seeking FDA approval for a battery-powered cigarette that delivers nicotine without the toxins, reports Business 2.0 Magazine.

(Business 2.0 Magazine) -- For smokers who want to quit, there are pills, patches, and gum. But how about an electronic nicotine delivery device that looks and feels like smoking -- without the smell or the carcinogens?

That's what Hong Kong-based Golden Dragon Group is selling. Known as Ruyan (meaning "like smoking"), the electronic cigarette is a $208 battery-powered atomizer.

Cigarette, batteries included.
Cartridges containing pure nicotine, available in three strengths and good for some 350 puffs each, cost about $4.


I have great suspicion against the method of trying to quit smoking by actually smoking!
