Gamucci Electronic Cigarettes

image
Perhaps it's because I've been a non-smoker my entire life, but I really don't understand the point of the Gamucci electronic cigarette. From their website:

Gamucci is a rechargeable electronic cigarette. It is a completely non-flammable product that uses state of the art sophisticated micro-electronic technology to provide users a real smoking experience without the tobacco and tar found in real cigarettes. It looks like, feels like and tastes like a real cigarette, yet it isn't. It is so much more. It is truly a healthier and satisfying alternative. Join the Revolution today!

So basically it's a miniaturized fog gun that you hold in your mouth. Sounds like a swell way to join the revolution!

Don't expect to see this in the US: RJR's Premiere "smokeless cigarette" did essentially the same thing, i.e. decoupled the nicotine from burning tobacco. The FDA therefore decided that it was a drug delivery system and fell under their purview, and the whole endeavor collapsed. It also collapsed because nobody like them.

Burl, I'd rather suspect the FDA bans these smokeless products because of the loss of tax revenue from cigarette sales. cool mad

Steve -- I hadn't actually realized that it was a nicotine delivery device. I thought it simply produced warm, smoke-like vapor. (Duh!) It's obviously more functional if it gives people a nicotine buzz as well as simulating the look of a cigarette.
