It almost certainly sounds crazy, but of course, there are such things as electronic cigarettes – and they’re becoming ever more popular; so much so that in another two or three years it will be insane not to have heard of them! The Electronic Cigarette Association, a recently created trade group to symbolize industry interests, estimates that there are around four hundred thousand users worldwide.
As if it didn’t appear funny enough, however, electronic cigarettes are even obtainable in numerous flavors. Yes, it is no joke – after years of tobacco advertising touting the likes of Virginia Slims and Newport Lights for their superior “taste,” smokers could finally pick from a range of real flavors, from chocolate and cherry to coffee and banana split!
That’s right, banana split. It’s incredible but true – no longer will smokers have to stick with traditional tobacco or menthol (which are, obviously, still available for purchase as well) but they now have a field of flavors even broader than that loved by pipe-smokers to choose from!
No big issue? Of course, with such things as fish-flavored ice cream and soda that tastes like bacon having been invented, perhaps uncommon cigarette flavors are not so surprising. But how about this: by having an electronic cigarettes, it’s possible to smoke without carcinogens or even nicotine the very first time in history! No, really, it’s all true: the flavored solution used by these products to produce the “smoke” (vapor) don’t have to contain any nicotine at all. These solutions are also available with varying amounts of the chemical, allowing users to choose the level of exposure for themselves! In fact, it is precisely on account of this ability to choose that the devices have been marketed as smoking cessation aids.
What will they think of next!
