Gadgets and gizmos

Let’s face it, those of us that do it know we shouldn’t and those of us that don’t constantly lecture those of us that do on the perils of being one that does. Those of us that do have even been forced out of pubs, into shelters, and further underground. Could the electronic cigarette be the answer? Well, first things first, you can smoke it in pubs and presumably even at your desk when you’re at work because the smoke that is released is nothing more than a mere vapour and, of course, you have the option of removing the nicotine vapour altogether and using it to help you quit smoking.

First thing you’ll notice is that it’s different to previous attempts at weird smoking substitute pens because it does actually look like a cigarette. Of course, what you won’t have noticed yet is that it costs £50 but this does include enough nicotine to last you considerably longer than £50 worth of Regal would. The e-cigarette is rechargeable and a single charge will last you an age so you don’t have to worry about that either.

You can get light, ultra light, regular, and even tobacco free flavour refills too, and these are only £7 a pop. Both the initial kit, which includes 5 cartridges, and the refills are both available from IWOOT (I Want One Of Those) so easy to get hold of. Refills consist of 5 cartridges and each cartridge is the equivalent to 20 cigarettes so it’s certainly cheaper than smoking.
