Battery-operated smoking
NJOY looks, feels and tastes like a cigarette. Or so they say. They're battery-operated and rather than producing real smoke, contain water which creates a "smoke-like" vapor.
I'm not sure how to feel about this. As an ex-smoker who still misses cigarettes 10 years later, I admit they pique my interest. The company's messaging appears targeted to current smokers, but it's interesting to think the smoking experience could exist without all the harmful effects... blink.
Nicotine amounts in NJOY range from 0mg to 18mg but the FAQ suggests nicotine without all the other carcinogens in cigarettes might be just fine. There's even a variety of flavors: regular tobacco, menthol, apple, strawberry, and vanilla.
Tempting, right? If I did try them, I'd go for the 0-nic. But there goes the fun.
Can you blow smoke rings with vapor?
Comments
Back when I was younger, my mom used to smoke fake cigerettes (though they werent battery operated) to help her quit smoking. It helped for a few years until they stopped making them and then she lost them all.
But... battery operated...?
