    Great so now there is a ' more healthy ' way to smoke. Excellent - but does it carry the same kudos of puffing away on a real one. Can kids show off to their friends ? Can they say - hey - have one of mine ?
    I sincerely hope this works as addiction is a terrible thing. Recent surveys show that children start smoking as young as 8 years old. Surely it's time for some serious education for children rather than giving them something else to puff on but where would be the profits in that.

    how about a small intravenous device that provides nicotine directly to the bloodstream? Surely the manufacturers of insulin pumps could come up with one. Get busy, Philip Morris!
