Electronic Cigarette Beats Smoking Ban
A handful of companies are beating the smoking ban by offering smokers an electronic way to legally get their nicotine fix while indoors. is a smokeless, sleek black tube with a rechargeable battery and a nicotine cartridge.
And unlike a normal Davidoff cigarettes, the tube releases a cloud of water vapor in the atmosphere, making it legal to smoke indoors.
"I buy cigarettesusually, so this is right up my alley," said smoker Monique Ownes, who said she now prefers smoking electronically.
However, smoker Jacob Asbill said he wasn’t too impressed by the new device. "Looks like a pen actually," Asbill said. "If it looks more like a cigarette and if it tasted more like a cigarette."
The American Lung Association says that even without the smoke, nicotine has its own dangers, and is linked to cardiac disease and high blood pressure. Even though the state says the E-Cigarette is exempt from the smoking ban, it’s still up to
individual businesses to decide whether smokers can use it indoors.
Each nicotine cartridge is equal to a couple packs of cigarettes. The device runs around $100, excluding the price of the cartridges. A cigar sells for about $50. Ruyan America is the manufacturer of the E-cigarettes and cigars.
