Over the last couple of days at the CES show here in Las Vegas I have seen four companies selling cigarette alternatives. They are variously called chemical or electronic. While health professionals appear to be divided on the risks and benefits of these products,they are at the Consumer Electronics Show this week and being promoted as safe and healthy.
Given that tobacco products have such an important component for many newsagents over the years, not mine thankfully, and giving the new plain paper packaging laws, researching these electronic cigarettes might be a good move.
All of the companies I have spoken with are from China, There is where the technology was developed around forty years ago. The products being offered now were first commercialised around seven years ago.
I’m not so sure they will take off. They look and feel weird and at least two I saw required the recharging of what looked like a chemical. They said it wash;t but could not tell me what it was. Odd.
Stumbled upon this while searching for something else and thought I would give you a few places to start looking for information.
There is a growing group of users that have used electronic cigarettes to assist in kicking the tobacco habit – after trying the approved QUIT methods without success.
I’d suggest if you want further information about these to visit our local run community http://aussievapers.com/ or http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ There is also information on http://whirlpool.net.au/ where many of us come across the product. Search gadgets for electronic cigarettes
