Electronic Cigarettes...updated

I have received new information about e-cigarettes from a pipe & tobacco shop-owning client of mine. Apparently these devices, created to help people quit smoking by gradually reducing the amount of nicotine they inhale while fulfilling the physical addiction that comes with smoking, are gaining popularity for new reasons.

These cigarettes produce water vapor instead of smoke; thus, making them acceptable to smoke indoors where regular cigarettes are prohibited. My first reaction is that this is helpful to smokers who have tired of leaving the bar or restaurant every time they need a smoke, more so now because of new legislation. But the more I think about it, this could be useful in airplanes (and airports), long bus trips and even non-smoking hotel rooms.

Once again we see that where there is a will, there is a away--A motto long recognized by anyone trying to get away with breaking rules.
