The company states that the product is NOT a means to ultimately quit smoking where at least the product would be a short term purchase for the users with a more positive end result. But to have users continue with use means more oil for more plastic and more electricity consumption ..oh I'm repeating myself again. Most definitely needs to have the GREEN removed. PS I thought the advertising standards authority were going to clamp down on greenwash products? Mind you they let anything through their nets don't they?

All the fun of smoking without the smell, coughing and crap I've lived with for 20 years. Not a perfect product, but probably the best out there. I use them and they blow regular cigs AWAY.

All the smokers I've mentioned these to would love to try them instead the cigarettes they're currently smoking... From what i understand it's just the nicotine that's inhaled and there's nothing but vapor that's exhaled. Isn't that better than the cigarettes filled with thousands of chemicals? ok but i still don’t understand why this is greenwashing.

Plus there's no second hand smoke effects. I don't really understand the greenwash complaint...

Did you read The Onion article about smoking for the environment a while back? It was a hoot...

I'd never heard of these, but I guess it was just a matter of time until someone came up with the idea. This is fabulous!
