At least e-cigar is better for your lungs
Don't stub this out just yet.

This faux cigar was just awarded "most marketable new product" at the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association trade show in Vegas. We're just as surprised, given that it's hard to believe cigar-chomping aficionados would willingly trade their Cubans or Coronas for a high-tech cigar. Particularly one that delivers puffs of "flavorful" vapor, devoid of any undertones or body.
The Ruyan Vegas Freestyle E-cigar, which is almost 6 inches in length, works rather like the e-cigarette by using a microchip, atomizer, airflow sensor, and liquid cartridge to mimic the experience of cigar smoking, only without any nicotine. Who'll buy into this? Probably the posers and quitters, but in a good way since we've only got one set of lungs.
It's good for 1,800 drags, though one doubts you'll be able to blow smoke rings around this one.
