There are a lot of places people are prohibited from smoking these days. Trains, planes, elevators, restaurants, offices, and so on and so forth — the list is much shorter if you look at where you can smoke than where you can't. Crown7's electric cigarettes, according to the company, will let you ignore no smoking signs.
Coming in cigarettes, cigars and fancy pipes, Crown7's products use cartridges sold by the company to deliver you a little nicotine love absolutely anywhere you like. No fire, no offensive smoke — only harmless vapor. Good luck trying to explain that to the bouncer, though. The cigar is the cheapest at $65, the cigarette is $100 and the pipe's $150. You'll have to buy cartridges at $10 for five, but at least the devices use rechargeable batteries. Sure, a pack of smokes costs quite a bit these days, but really all it sounds like you're saving is the time it takes you to get outside. That is, if you really could get away with smoking one of these where you're not supposed to.

I remember a long time ago, (when the SciFi channel showed "Classic" movies from the 60's and stuff). The channel aired an old William Castle chestnut called "Project X" based on the Leslie P. Davis novel of the same name. The story took place in 2118 and had a slinky blond actress named Greta Baldwin. She and (and a female nurse) had a fondness for a futuristic cigarette called "Synthatine" which was a tiny capsule that was placed in an electronic cigarette shaped device and puffed like an ordinary ciggie. It even had a red light on the end to simulate the glow of the embers when dragging off of it.
