….No Butts about it.

Today, while shopping on the military base, my husband and I noticed a man smoking a cigarette… indoors. After taking a second glance, my husband told me it was a new cigarette called the “Smokeless Cigarette”. You’ve got to be kidding me!

Once I got home, I did my research on this new product. On a website I stumbled on, they promoted the electronic stick by saying this :

“Announcing a brand new way to enjoy cigarettes
without the awful smell, high expenses, and inconveniencing and endangering those around you.”

Not to sound snippy, but I thought the new way to not endanger yourself and  those around you was called “QUITTING”! Get real, America. Are we serious with this product?

The site when on to tell it’s customers :

“Imagine being stuck in that Airport and long flight for 4 hours! You’re irritated! You’re cranky! What if you could smoke right through that flight! What if you could smoke during a movie? Or how about smoking after a good meal right from your table? Our smokeless cigarettes make it 100% legal for you to smoke anywhere and anytime! No more dirty looks from people who don’t like the smell of smoking!”

C’mon, smokers..are you falling for this crap yet? How ridiculous. I mean, I understand quitting is tough. But are you that weak that you will resort to walking around an airport and sitting in a restaurant with a plastic stick in our mouth because youre too weak to just quit?

The site tells its customers that each cartridge lessens the amount of Nicotine so it helps you quit. But how would that happen when it’s giving people more freedom to smoke when and where they want? Isn’t it just making them want and “need” to smoke more frequently?

Imagine how stupid these people look with a fake cigarette glued to their mouths simply because they are “cranky” and need to relax. Before we know it, they will make a Styrofoam joint so we can calm down while in line at the library. – Hey, not a bad invention, I’m going to give it a whirl.

Tobacco…Killing our customers any way we can.

What Do you think about the “Smokeless Cigarette?”
