What is this cigarette smoking alternative i have been seeing?

cigarette smoking Add comments

So i have been seeing these plastic/metal cigarette looking things that burn pure nicotine and create steam instead of smoke. No lighter is needed and you could technically smoke one anywhere without the smell of smoke. Anyone know what this is called or a website where i could get one? Thanks.
Oh yeah I guess it’s a Canadian product.. Vancouver maybe.
Yeah i think thats them!!! they are totaly awesome. I guess i could keep buying flavored tobacco for it and it lasts a lifetime.
E-cigarette
Great info Zach, definitly getting one.

There are two major versions of this, though they are both essentially the same thing One is marketed as a healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes. The other is a Nicorette product to help you quit smoking altogether.

For the first, it is the E-Cig. It is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by delivering a vaporized propylene glycol/nicotine solution. In addition to nicotine delivery, this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved in its operation.

The electronic cigarette usually takes the form of some manner of elongated tube, though many are designed to resemble the outward appearance of real smoking products, like cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. A common design is also the "pen-style", so named for its visual resemblance to a ballpoint pen.

The product to help you quit is a nicotine inhalator, or inhaler as it is also known, is a plastic, cigarette – shaped device, that consists of a mouthpiece and a nicotine cartridge, which delivers nicotine when you puff or suck on it. The nicotine is released as a vapour, enters the mouth and throat area and is absorbed through the inner lining of the cheeks and lips, from where it enters the bloodstream and travels to the brain. None of the nicotine is drawn into or enters the lungs, making it much safer than smoking a cigarette.

Each nicotine cartridge contains enough nicotine for around 400 puffs. To release the equivalent amount of nicotine contained in a cigarette, you would need to puff on the inhaler about 80 times. If the smoker continually sucked on the inhaler, each cartridge would last for about 20 minutes. The recommended number of cartridges that should be used in one day is between 6 and 12 depending on how many cigarettes the smoker was used to smoking. Usually one cartridge is used in three separate 20-minute sessions.

Although your body will acquire just the right amount of nicotine that it needs to control the withdrawal symptoms from not smoking, it will not receive any of the harmful substances like tar, carbon monoxide and all the other numerous carcinogens and poisonous toxins that also enter the body when smoking a cigarette.

The nicotine inhalator is particularly useful and valuable for those smokers who miss the physical action of smoking a cigarette, as it keeps the hands busy as if you were holding and smoking a cigarette. It is actually the only form of NRT that addresses the physical side of smoking a cigarette and the addiction to nicotine.

    supercig.com or something. Though I’ve heard they’re really cheaply made and break a lot. Plus the company will make you pay to ship it back, then charge you a "restocking" fee. So it’s not even a money back grantee. Personally I’d be cautious and look up the product on google first.

    Best method for finding scams is to search
    "product name" +scam? like supercig +scam

    I saw a Kiosk of that at The Galleria Mall…

    If you don’t live near a Galleria Mall, go to the nearest Mega-Mall to you and see if they have a "middle of the mall" kiosk with the demonstration going…
