We received this press release in our inbox yesterday:

At long last! You can avoid the tars and nicotines that keep you addicted to real cigarettes and still enjoy the satisfaction of smoking! The InLife Cigarette is a battery operated alternative that produces no fire and is safe to use just about anywhere...without exposing the user to harmful levels of cancer causing agents and other dangerous chemicals normally associated with traditional tobacco products...The basic components consist of a battery, an atomizer, a safe, flavored cartridge containing nicotine, water and propylene glycol and a computer chip that controls it all.

Tell us your thoughts below!

I think it is the best thing since sliced bread. This can really help a smoker quit. Just remember, we all live in a glass house. Over eating and lack of exercise can kill you faster then a cigarette. As a respiratory therapist, obese people have harder time breathing and experience more health problems then someone with COPD.

I'm not sure why this is or isn't "Green". What is "not green" about smoking (burning???) and what is supposed to make this particular product green (lack of burning???)?

Also...I had to laugh really hard when I saw the description: "You can avoid the tars and nicotines that keep you addicted...[with a] flavored cartridge containing nicotine...".

This just seems like a tiny vaporizer. I'm just waiting for some 420 friendly hacker to post instructions on how to modify.
