Electronic cigarettes circumvent smoking ban
A pub near Birmingham, England is helping customers beat a smoking ban by selling electronic cigarettes. Since offering them last weekend, the Butler's Arms have sold six packs at £39.99/each.
From The Telegraph:
The new E.cig smokes like a real cigarette and users get a shot of nicotine every time they inhale.
The device even produces a cloud of water vapour with every puff, though causes no harm to smokers...
(Proprietor Chris) Giles said: "When it's freezing outside and chucking it down with rain it's a good alternative to going outside for a cigarette.
"We built a smoking shelter, but it's just not the same for smokers who have been marginalised by the ban...
"Luckily we can tell people aren't really trying to light up because the electronic ones are black in colour with a blue light," (says bar assistant manager Becky Giles.)

www.myecigarette.co.uk. Patches suck by the way!
When I am online, I type or read things. I am occupied. Looking at a screen only, or sitting at a bar with a glass, does not keep me occupied. I require the addition of having the smoke, and the rolling of it too helps.
I get over half an hour of having something worthwhile to do with my hands from one joint, and I wouldn't be able to sit still watching the TV etc otherwise without it. Smoking is fucking great. Sticky patches or electric things can't replace it. Attempts to replace it with other hobbies are just that - attempts to replace a thing that is already perfect with something you don't enjoy nearly as much. Unacceptable. (obviously I must enjoy nicotine hits on some level, all I'm saying is that a patch or anything else with nicotine in it is NOT a replacement for a fucking cigarette! It's awful enough smoking a weaker brand or baccy for fucks sake!! - feels like sucking in air) * a poor substitute for a vista of nature, yes I know
