Fifty-One, a New Electronic Cigarette

This new electronic cigarette targets those who want to cut down on smoking, but have a hard time getting rid of an old habit. The cigarette does not have flame, smoke, tar, odor, ash or carcinogens (they say).It allows one to “smoke” in places where smokers could normally not. There’s also no second-hand smoking.

The unit consists of a short or long battery that can last a full day of smoking; it looks like tobacco containing part of a cigarette, and cartridges seem like the filter of a cigarette. The cartridges come in several flavors and contain 99% water and 1% nicotine. There might be an argument where this could help individuals quit smoking, but also where it could keep people smoking with them thinking that its now safer. What do you think? The cost is $105 for the starter kit and $15 per pack of cigarettes.
