Fake Cigarette
Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes as they’re commonly called, have gotten a lot of attention in the news and across the internet. But like any new invention and new health product, the beginning was a little rough. The “cigarettes” looked more like a medical device than an actual cigarette, not to mention they were a hassle to use.
The liquid nicotine mix was sticky, smelly and tasted awful. Most people who tried them out went right back to normal, cancer-causing cigarettes because they were such a hassle. But as time progressed, the electronic cigarettes got smaller, easier to use and the flavor got better and better. And best of all, they still seemed to help people stop smoking if they kept up with it. The Blue Cigarette was designed to be the biggest leap toward making electronic cigarettes a real alternative to typical tobacco cigarettes. It packages the cigarette, the nicotine packs and flavors all into a box the size and shape of a normal cigarette box.
It remains to be seen whether or not electronic cigarette will take off, but the novel inventions have found their way onto countless news reports already, but smokers have been reluctant to make the leap, especially since most of the electronic cigarettes cost a pretty penny for the first kit.
