have just seen this on the news & went googling   It's an electronic cigarette that uses pure nicotine & water www dot smartsmoker dot co dot uk   It says it's healthier - however that could probably be argued, but, it looks like it works out cheeper than actual ciggys & looks to me like it could be an aid to give up.....if only they did mental ...errr.... sorry Menthol cartridges!

An interesting concept but I would say the guy in the video looks far from cool when he is smoking it....   Would be interested to see if there really is no smell from it!!   I will stick to my hookah, thank you very much... (same principle)     (I don't smoke cigarettes but I do enjoy the occasional nicotine patch...)

the problem with all these quit smoking aids is that they don`t take into account people actually enjoy smoking,if we didn`t like the taste and didn`t like inhaling the smoke,then we wouldn`t do it.i might be wrong(usually am)but i`m sure they do some sort of drug for alcoholics that makes them dislike alcohol,i`m sure somthing like that would be far more effective

Is it an aid to stop smoking?   I thought it was just an alternative....   You might want to give up after so many people have laughed at you using one though.

hey BB yeah they do - you can get it on prescription from the docs - Champix is the main one, but there are others. HOWEVER, I've known a number of people try these & they end up getting really agressive, have weird dreams, various bodily functions get clogged up etc. In the end, they end up coming off the tabs & back onto the ciggy's cos no-one can put up with there 'weird' moods & they can't put up with the side effects! I've checked out the leaflets that come with them & there's about 2 pages of side effects!!! once you read the possible side effects you end up thinking buggerit I'll stick with the ciggys!!

I think smokers are intelligent rational people. What they waste their money and lives on is up to them. Anything that is keeping my tax down is ok by me Dead.  I'll be happier when someone invents the E-quarter pounder and fries.

I smoke and take no notice of these things whatsoever. I know its bad for me,my choice. Don't tell me it is,don't try and stop me and just leave me the Censored alone to get on with it. Unfortunately these past 3/4 years i've been to about 6 funerals and only one died from cancer. The others were bike or car accidents. Shall we all give up driving/riding? Nah,thought not.

  Yea I *saw a news item re: the new 'fags' if it doesn't use tobacco where was the 'smoke' coming from, was it short-circuiting? lol *didn't listen to it tho.

I love this thread, while I think smoking is a stupid, vile, disgusting and insanely expensive habit it is one of mine and It's nice to know I'm not the only social pariah around.

do they really think the warnings make any difference.the only one i agree with is DON`T LET CHILDREN BREATHE YOUR SMOKE.too right,make the little buggers buy their own that`s what pocket money is for

For those of you who wish to prepare for the next health nazi anti smoking gibberish check out http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/03/health/research/03smo...ke.html?em   Presumably smokers are going to be banned from all contact with children, we'll probably end up on a register along with the paedophiles.

poeple die all the time from cancer.my mate lived in cumbria and almost all her classmates have had thyroid cancer.a tv program yrs ago quoted a thousand poeple die every yr in edinburgh from diseases related to car exhaust. every cleaning agent you use in the house has chemicals that can cause cancer,your deodorants,toothpaste,aftershave, everything is bad for you. but people only harp on about the one thing they hear all the time,fags! thats because they dont hear the whole story,they only hear what they want! mr tango x
