E-cig? E-marijuana better.

e-cig you are "smoking" via a electronic device only thing is what looks like smoke is actually water vapor, the nicotine comes from a small cartridge that you insert into the device, you inhale and exhale water vapor that contains nicotine, what looks like smoke as mentioned it's water vapor that just disappear into thin air there's no lingering smell.

I've seen my friends take it I think this is more healthy than lighting up a cigarette should actually be actively promoted since the theme of anti-smoking campaign all along was quit because of health related reason so the authorities are against it obviously everybody has some idea because the government can't get any taxes from it

tobbaco taxes is by weight over $350 per kg in taxes once small cartridge of nicotine less than 10 gram government revenues will collapse so obviously it's outlawed.
