The smoking thread reminded me of the ecigarette. I did not want to hijack that thread with this.
Has anyone ever heard of the ecigarette?

I saw it at a kiosk in a mall. Apparently, it still gives the user a hit of nicotine, no second hand smoke. Because of that, at least here where there is a 100% ban on indoor smoking at public buildings, this is acceptable. Users can legally use this indoors here.

Does it make the user smell like a nasty ashtray, like the regular ones?

I guess if your going to smoke, that would be the way to go.

It isn't smoke. It's water vapor. It dissipates almost instantly on exhale, but you do certainly see it as it comes out. The vapor is there for that purpose. The delivery of the nicotine could be had without that, but the makers know part of the payoff of dragging on one is the smoker watching the smoke waft away from himself. It does deliver nicotine.
On the same vein, there's the new Snus. Swedish snuff. Snus is Swedish for snuff. Camel has a version with that brand name now. It is spitless, pouch snuff. You can swallow it. It's made to attract men and women who can't smoke indoors. It has a highly pleasant mint taste to it that's hardly tobacco-y at all, but it does have a pretty strong kick to it nicotine wise. You simply swallow as you let it rest in your upper gum.
I was telling an old local lawyer about it one day at the courthouse as he got him a handful of chewing tobacco, and he said, "Have you ever seen me spit? I quit spittin' when tobacco went to 50 cents a pack!" Funny stuff. Old lawyers .... nobody any funnier.

When I saw these and the refills on IWOOT, I thought that it was an April Fools joke (like the squeeze bacon)!
