Okay. We’re in South Park Mall in Charlotte, NC and there was this lady smoking a cigarette at a kiosk. It was sort of odd to see her smoking a cigarette in a public place. There was a conversation that I couldn’t resist. I was intrigued. So I went over to see what she was selling.

Needless to say I was surprised to learn about electronic cigarettes. Yep, that is what she was smoking. I wondered, “What will they come up with next?”

• It looked like a cigarette. (from a distance)
• It smelled like a cigarette.
• It felt like a cigarette. (kinda)
• It tasted like a cigarette. (kinda)
• And smoke came out of your mouth (though it was only air, not real cigarette smoke).

The end of the cigarette glowed which gave the impression that it was real. The texture of the electronic cig was rough plastic.

You have to replace the filters every few days, but it comes with a charger. One cigarette, a charger and replacement cartridges is all you need.

The idea is that you would get a small nicotene fix, but not like a real cigarette and eventually you’ll be able to kick the habit.

And, yes, they had fake cigars and pipes as well.

I couldn’t resist. I smoked the cigarette and the cigar. They had fake Cuban cigars! It was sort of humorous, but I think there might be something to it if folks who are addicted to such things would like to kick the habit.

Here is the link to the Smoking Everywhere website.

Another oddity to this is that you can smoke anywhere, so they say, because it is not a real cigarette. That, in itself, made it a temptation to buy.

I love America!
