I can't decide if this is a good idea or not: an electronic nicotine delivery device that looks like and is used like a regular cigarette.
What you see coming out of the mouth of the company executive demoing the product in the picture is vapor, not smoke. The product delivers vaporized nicotine without all the noxious chemicals that are created by inhaling tobacco smoke. I suppose for some people, having the functional prop would address some of the habitual elements of smoking. I often read about how quitting smokers find that they miss the activity of smoking as much or more than the hit of nicotine.
On the downside, though, removing some of the health hazards associated with smoking might only make nicotine consumption more enticing to some people, and we probably don't need to make the addiction any worse than it already is.
