A company called Smoking Everywhere has developed an electronic cigarette. The invention looks like a real cigarette, right down to the glowing red tip, but is smokeless, free of the harmful chemicals found in tobacco products, and delivers only one ingredient: pure liquid nicotine.

The battery powered unit is activated when the user inhales; the battery warms the liquid nicotine and a vapor of nicotine is released. The FDA has been prohibiting importation of the product since last summer, saying that the "e-cig" is an unapproved new drug because the product lacks scientific proof that it is safe or effective. Elicko Taieb, CEO of Smoking Everywhere, commented: "Our product is comparable to the nicotine patch except people still get the oral fixation, which they love."
