ECigarettes: The Healthy, Fashionable Way To Feed Your Fancy

The funny thing about smoking is that, while distinctly upping one's coolness factor, it inevitably shortens one's lifespan. I remember my college days of smoking my way through plates, projects, and various deadlines, and I can't help but feel nostalgic for that one long drag from my favourite menthol brand.

Still, it behooves one to note that as you grow older, things like "living longer"and "staying healthy" actually start to mean something. Also: the boy made me quit. :P

Smokes with style.

Still, smokers from around the world can now rejoice: the dawn of the e cigarette has come! Featuring a healthy alternative to traditional tobacco and tar-filled pipes of doom, the e-cigarette ensures that you can happily puff away on your designer smokes without worry.

The initial cost of a starter kit is about $120, but considering that it will be your only expense (apart from the cartridges you purchase when your stock runs out-- apple flavor, yum!), it actually comes out much cheaper than maintaining your regular habit.

And have I mentioned they look awesome?

As any fashionista will know, design is 70% of any product. You can now happily toss out your overpriced menthol slims for the chance to smoke one of these gorgeous ciggies! They have close to two hundred skins to choose from, eight yummy flavors, and of course, lovely cigarette carrying cases.

With designs like this, I think it's safe to say that the e-cigarette is going to be an instant classic. It's style, substance, and class all the way. I'm also guessing that electronic cigarette-smoking is going to be the next big thing to hit the runway. After all, it caters to the quintessential rule of fashion: Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! ;)

With cigarette designs like this, you feel like not smoking at all and just display the sticks for other people to gawk at. Such gorgeous creations! Hehe.

Lizz said...

Abaniko - I know, right? So gorgeous!

Lester said...

Wow! How good of your boy. :)

Lizz said...

Lester - Haha, I think he did it more for himself than me (he hates second-hand smoke). ;D

Is it a real cigarette though? Or is just like inhaling flavored steam? I'd give it a shot if its just that hehe... assuming they'd provide it in a simple shade.

Lizz said...

Philos - Well, it's kind of like inhaling flavored steam, but it also has nicotine in it. I guess it would be the opposite of Snus in physical appearance, but would eventually have the same effect.

Tiffy said...

I hate menthol. And lights. And the combination of the two? Ugh. I guess you didn't really care about the health... errr... hazards when you're just all stressed or blah, huh.

Wait, so is this thing like hookah?

Lizz said...

Karen - Haha, yeah I think it's more for current smokers who want to quit rather than non-smokers who are just curious.

Tiffy - Smoking is a personal choice, really, just like drinking. After all, some people can't stand the taste of alcohol.

The flavors are certainly similar to a hookah, but hookahs have tobacco which this does not. So I'm not sure how similar the tastes would be.

E-cigarette? Oh my! I never ever smoke ever ever lol.... but I agree with abaniko with designs like this I might start smoking :P

Lizz said...

Earth - Haha, so pretty no? But yeah, it's good to never start so you don't have trouble quitting. :D
