Default OT - Meet the Electronic Cigarette

Like something straight out of Futurama, the smokeless electronic
cigarette has now arrived!:
http://www.blucigs.com/
Wasn't there a Jetsons episode where George was advertising these? :-)
Apparently it has a blue LED in the end that glows as you "smoke" it.,
although there is no smoke involved, and the art of blowing smoke rings
will soon die unless you use a IR detector to spot invisible heated
vortices in the air near the "smoker".
If they changed that blue one to a red LED, you could have a combo
cigarette/flashlight/laser pointer.
With further development, maybe even a death ray.
But this was predicted decades ago by Ian Fleming, in the story "You
Only Lay Twice"
"With his traditional Japanese pride,'Tiger' Tanaka stated: 'This
electronic cigarette could save your life, Bond-san.'
Coolly, Bond replied: 'You sound like a commercial....'.
....little did 007 suspect that even as the search for the hidden SPECTRE
rocket base went forward, Ernst Stavros Blofeld was already placing a
plug of Isotopic Chewing Tobacco into his mouth, turning his saliva into
something as deadly as the venom of a spitting cobra.
Despite Tiger's apparent enthusiasm for a homosexual encounter, Bond
wanted nothing to do the strange Oriental, suspecting that his anus
might well conceal a hidden razor blade, as did many of the vaginas of
the Japanese prostitutes he had encountered in the post-war period. The
memory of the beautiful - but deadly - Long Sukayu came to mind, but he
put it quickly aside."

P.S. Remember..."Blu" is the world's _best_ electronic cigarette!
Have nothing to do with "Bru", its back-engineered Chinese knock-off!
Those things have set fire to people's faces due to poor quality control
standards.
