USB-Powered Electronic Cigarette

March 30th, 2009        

Thanko Japan has come out with the USB cigarette, a USB version of the electronic cigarette. The cigarette has no nicotine or tar. You can get it charged via USB and it comes complete with 11 filter butts and the atomizer. Get one for 2980 Yen, that’s around $33. More pictures after the break.

    Hey common — Don’t just give an advertisement to a product without telling readers whether it’s safe or dangeous. Atleast admit that you have no idea. E-cigarettes are more than just suspect. Looks like they could be highly toxic and poisonous. The U.S.Federal Drug Admin. calls e-cigs “new drugs” and may soon pull them off the market. So far the American Cancer Society, Cancer Action Network, American Heart Assn, American Lung Assn. and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids all agree that electronic cigarettes should be pulled off the market. The World Health Organization says they may be highly poisonous. The makers of e-cigs claim they are safe but have absolutely no studies to back them up.No evidence. No proof. Just “Believe us so we can make more money.” Ethic Soup blog has an excellent article on the subject, just posted yesterday, at:

    The cost of stopping your cigarette habit does not have to be breathing toxic poisons into your lungs from a pretend cigarette.

    This is not a great idea to promote poisonous and toxic products for mere advertising.

    @Sharon McEachern Wow!! Are you an ignorant sheep!!! People like you are so quick to follow what one or two organizations think vs actual trials and usage!! You really piss me off!!! Answer me this: The FDA has known about these being sold in large numbers for the last 18 months. Why are they all of a sudden trying to ban them? There has not been a single documented case of anyone getting sick with electronic cigarettes, yet we know that regular cigarettes are guaranteed killers in so many people. The electronic cigarette does not have any smells and there is nothing inside that burns. There is no tar and the user simply gets nicotine. I actually am on top of the liquid solution and getting a European Country’s approval while being overlooked by one of the top 10 chemical/ drug scientists in the World!! I have received a thumbs up on all of the ingredients!!

    The whole issue is money! Period!! Nos that e-cigs have become so popular, big tobacco and big pharma are crying because people aren’t smoking as much and are buying e-cigs instead of patches. Do you feel bad for big pharma?? So now, all of a sudden, the FDA “realizes” that they are not safe?? Please!!! I challenge a single exam by the US government to prove these are not safe!! You see, they will not spend even $2500 in proving the chemicals are safe. Instad, they expect a company to spend 8 years and a billion $$$sss to prove they are safe. How flippin backwards is the US government??

    So let’s not offer current smokers a healthier alternative that works for them and doesn’t bother anyone. Let’s force them to keep big tobacco in business while killing millions.

    I am so sick of the Hitler mentallity!!!

    These products are really awesome, I have tried some made from a chinese manufacturer, but I am sure that Japanese ones will be just as good if not better. Http://www.electroniccigarettesource.com they have very good information and products regarding e cigarettes check them out for yourself.

    Electronic cigarette, or also known as e-cig or an e-cigarette, is the world’s smallest form of a vaporizer. Unlike herbal vaporizers, the electronic cigarette is designed to vaporize glycerin-based liquids such as propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. The electronic cigarette consists of 3 parts; rechargeable battery, atomizer, and a cartridge. When a user inhales on an electronic cigarette, the movement of air is detected by a micro sensor which activates the heating element, also known as the atomizer. The atomizer heats up the cartridge containing liquid, which turns into vapor.

    Look it obvious that e cigs are better then cigarettes. BUT I do think that the FDA should have some sort of testing over this.

    I have been using electronic cigarettes ( Greentipusa.com , seriously check it out ) , and I can tell you that it make a HUGE difference .

    My advice to anyone that smokes , it to try it.
