On occasion, when I stumble upon an incredibly attractive woman, my eyes linger a bit longer than normal. But then, without warning, her hand moves toward her mouth and she takes a drag on a cigarette. At that moment, the image in my mind changes dramatically, as if someone just dumped a bucket of bloody fish guts over her head. She morphs from a hero to a zero in half a second."So what?" you might be saying. "You're married, so what does it matter?" I agree, but I'm just sayin. Everyone has an opinion, even us married folk. And bloody fish guts is not an appealing look.
This morning I read an article in the WSJ titled E-Cigarettes Spark New Smoking War, and thought to myself, "E-Cigarette? What the heck is that?"
I learned that an e-cigarette is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by way of a vaporized solution. It is an alternative to smoked tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. In addition to delivering nicotine, this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no smoke or combustion is actually involved in its operation.
An electronic cigarette typically looks like an elongated tube, though many are designed to resemble real smoking products, like cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. Another common design is the "pen-style" because it resembles a ballpoint pen. Most electronic cigarettes are reusable devices with replaceable and refillable parts. A number of disposable electronic cigarettes have also been developed.
