Expert texpert choking smokers
“SuperSmoker has developed technology to help smokers beat the smoking ban!” says a slightly manic press release crossing our desk.
For those of you for whom the idea of going outside for a fag has too little technology in it, “The SuperSmoker contains no tobacco and does not burn – instead it consists of a microchip and a harmless liquid that, when the user inhales, turns into a virtually odourless vapour and then provides the hit of nicotine.”
It even produces its own little puff of smoke.
“The liquid, which is manufactured in Germany, is made up of food products to create a tobacco-like flavour.”
Yum. Perhaps the genius of SuperSmoker is that, at £79 plus £6.95 for the refills, it is one of the few remaining ways to extract even more money out of our nicotine addictions.
"....beat the smoking ban.....produces its own little puff of smoke..."
Ahem. Would not the production of a puff of smoke cause it to be banned, thus defeating the whole point of paying £79?
Genius indeed.

I thought this but apparently because nothing burns and because the 'smoke' is actually vapour it is legal to use in enclosed public areas. Still expensive though...
