You walk into a crowded bar where half of the patrons are
smoking. You spin around quickly heading out of the place lest it be raided by
the anti-smoking police only to realize that although there appeared to be
smoke in the air there was no scent of tobacco. What's going on? You return to
the bar and ask the blonde at the end what type of crazy cigarette she's
smoking. After giving you the "See what just fell from the turnip
truck" look, she tells you that it's an electronic cigarette that has none
of the dangerous tars and chemicals found in ordinary cigarette smoke.

Background
If you've never heard of an e-cigarette, don't despair. Neither had I until I stumbled across an interesting chart that we'll get to later. For now, suffice it to say that the chart opened up a new product that could be a game-changer not only in the tobacco space but also in the pharmaceutical arena.

The e-cigarette sounds like a new creation but it was
invented nearly 50 years ago in the U.S. with the aim of being used as a
nicotine replacement therapy. The product disappeared and it wasn't until 2000
when a Chinese pharmacist resurrected the concept along with a few
technological improvements. Fast forward: The e-cigarette in its current
incarnation is being sold worldwide (to countries that allow it).
What is an e-cigarette?
The e-cig (for short) is a device that vaporizes the liquid placed in it for the purpose of being inhaled, much like a vaporizer or a nebulizer. It consists of three essential components: a cartridge that holds the liquid and acts as the mouthpiece, an atomizer that is the heating element that vaporizes the liquid, and the power supply - a battery in portable models.

The liquid can be anything that's easily vaporized.
Currently, the liquid consists of either propylene glycol or glycerin with (or
without) the addition of varying amounts of pharmaceutical grade nicotine along
with flavoring that includes tobacco, menthol, as well as many others-vanilla,
chocolate, and even Boston cream pie!
