Smoking an e-fag

One of the facilities we can’t supply at The Stack is the ability to smoke indoors.
However, we received an email this week from a firm called SuperSmoker.co.uk, which claims to offer “an electronic, alternative cigarette which contains no tobacco and does not burn – rather it contains a microchip and a harmless liquid that when the user inhales, turns to a vapour which contains nicotine.
“The vapour has the appearance of smoke but is harmless and can be legally used in areas where traditional cigarettes cannot… No longer will IT staff have to walk outside and make polite small talk with other departments over an overflowing ashtray,” it says.
We always thought that other departments refused to talk to you because they didn’t want to talk about technology on their smoking break, but imagine how many pals you’ll now make by describing the microchip-based fag substitute in your mouth.
Any less geeky ways you’re beating the smoking ban, let us know.
