Electronic cigarette sparks interest

Bernice TrickJan 8, 2010 1:00 AM It looks, tastes and feels like a cigarette, but it isn’t a cigarette because it has no tobbaco, tars or carcinogens to hurt you.
It’s the latest device being made in China, but sold in Europe and Asia, and now it has made its way to Canada.
When a user inhales the device that looks exactly like a cigarette, a tiny rechargable battery vaporizes liquid inside the cigarette producing water vapor smoke while the tip lights up like the real thing.
It comes with five different cartridges to insert into the device which offer nicotine, non-nicotine or other flavours like vanilla, strawberry and mint. There’s no off and on switch. The motion of inhaling starts and stops the the process, and then you just put it in your pocket until you need it again.
There’s no tar, no smoke, no needing to go outside, no second hand smoke and no bad smell, but so far Health Canada has not authorized any electronic cigarette for sale, Phillipe Laroche, media relations officer with Health Canada informed The Citizen Thursday.
Health Canada has not budged from its March, 2009 advisory asking persons advertising and selling electronic smoking products in Canada to stop doing so.
