Talks about electronic cigarettes.

Above about electronic cigarettes.

The electronic cigarettes include the latest emulation technology. The atomized solution apparently produces voluminous white “smoke” for the user to exhale, just like the real thing. Take a look at an image from one of the marketing sites for this product.

There’s an amber LED in the tip of this product that glows when you use it, to emulate the glowing ember of a burning cigarette. Since the actual user can’t see this LED indicator, I must presume its presence is for the benefit of the nearby innocent bystanders.

And just like the real thing, you can get the electronic cigarette’s nicotine solution in a variety of yummy flavors including tobacco, strawberry, orange, mint, vanilla, caramel, and coffee.

The electronic cigarette contains a rechargeable lithium battery, an atomizer for the liquid solution contained in the nicotine cartridge, and an electronic airflow sensor to activate the atomizer and the amber LED indicator. There’s even a USB charger for the product.

Despite being marketed as a “healthier” alternative to the real thing, the US FDA has found carcinogens in the atomized vapor from the nicotine cartridges. Many countries have already banned the products for related reasons.
