Q. What is an E Cigarette?

A. The E Cigarette is an electronic device, which imitates a regular cigarette. It is a new way for users of regular tobacco based cigarettes to regulate and control their nicotine intake while in public places.

Q. How does it work?

A. The E Cigarette works in the following way: The user inhales on the electronic cigarette; this causes an air flow sensor to signal to the inbuilt microprocessor, that in turn activates the atomizer. The atomizer converts the liquid nicotine in the cartridge into a vapour (by atomisation), which is digested by the user. Simultaneously, a water based vapour is released from the glycol by the atomiser to resemble smoke. This smoke has no risk to its user or persons around them.
