Electronic Cigarettes When No Smoking is Permissible – Can You Really “Smoke Anyplace”?
Top electronic cigarette distributor SmokeAnywhere, along with its peers in the industry, is building a business with the pitch that these devices can be used in places off-limits to tobacco, because they are not subject to current anti-smoking regulation. Initial advertisements were highly criticized, as they stated electronic cigarettes could be used in airplanes, restaurants, stadiums, and more. However, a peek at SmokeAnywhere’s updated website confirms that the company is now taking a more restrained approach. Note the addition of “acceptable” on SmokeAnywhere’s classic tag line, “With our product there is no second hand smoke so you can take it and virtually SmokeAnywhere acceptable.” One assumes that “acceptable” is determined through trial and error.
Nicotine Replacement with Electronic Cigarettes
The primary motivation for purchase cited by electronic cigarette consumers is a desire to wean away from tobacco products, considered by many to have greater health risks to the user. As the physical draw to traditional cigarettes comes from the nicotine content, electronic cigarette manufacturers offer an assortment of nicotine solutions intended to minimize or quell cravings. Because this is currently an unregulated industry, nicotine concentrations vary by brand, resulting in the need for users to carefully read labels in order to ensure they are getting the desired strength.
