A woman smokes an E-cigarette, an
electronic substitute in the form of a rod, slightly longer than a normal
cigarette, in Bordeaux, southwestern France, March 25, 2008. A changeable
filter contains a liquid with nicotine and propylene glycol. When the user
inhales as he would when smoking, air flow is detected by a sensor and a
micro-processor activates an atomizer which injects tiny droplets of the
liquid into the flowing air, producing a vapour. The E cigarette, which
retails for 78 euros, is powered by a rechargeable battery.
