3. from wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-cigarette

An e-cigarette (or e-cig) is an alternative to the cigarette, providing small amounts of the chemical nicotine with each inhalation.
The device takes the form of a tiny rod which is slightly longer than a normal cigarette. The mouthpiece of the device contains a replaceable cartridge filled with liquid. In the patent pending version of the e-cigarette, the main substances contained in the liquid are nicotine, propylene glycol, and optional flavours or aromas.<1><2>
When the user inhales through the device, the air flow is detected by a sensor. A microswitch then activates a piezoelectric nebulizer (popularized by the industry as an atomizer), which injects tiny droplets of the liquid into the flowing air and vapourises the nicotine.<1> This produces a vapor mist which is inhaled by the user.

5. Thanks! I had no idea...
But by the description, I think my SO tried this, but it didn't work for him. Maybe I should try it, since I live with two cats and my dog. I have the patches, but have just been too stressed to try them again. :-(

Thanks and kudos to you!:applause:

Rhiannon:hi:

But don't you have to get it from a doctor? My SO did... :shrug:

9. Well, as a kid in the late sixties, my friends and I tried smoking catnip
and "Mellow Yellow" was rumored to be dried banana peel. :rofl:

11. Mick loves it when I smoke
It means he can go outside with me for a little bit.

He hears "go for a smoke" or "cigarette" and he's at the door in a flash.
