What may be viewed as weird in other cultures may come across of perfectly normal in Japan, no wonder Japanese inventors file the most patent applications each year and has been a technology pioneer for many years. One of the latest “inventions” (if you want to call it that) from a Japanese company is Mismo cigarette from Sosu Company. The Nicolestyle (short for Nicotine-less Style) cigarette looks like a cigarette, is used like a cigarette but instead of filling your lungs with poison when inhaled it emits flavored steam (water vapor) in your mouth while the tip glows by way of a small battery powered LED light. How cool is that?
I know it seems silly but you have to admit that this is a smart idea, although this might not revolutionize smoking and cause nicotine addicted puffers (like my mom -_-) to switch, young persons smoking to look “cool” or persons willing to try smoking rehabilitation with this device is already a market for such a product.
Read in detail how this device works over at the Engrish Brog. Big thanks to Grant for bringing this to my attention. Surf into any Japan or Jamaica related links that you think I may find interesting?…sent me a link!

That’s a pretty cool invention. I love how the Japanaese invent. They allow their minds to roam free, and are unashamed to invent something wacky.
No way, the Chinese invented these things around 2004 or so. You can definitely get electronic cigarettes with or without nicotine, and in a range of flavours.
Have a look at this website for more info:

Electronic cigarettes are a great alternative to tobacco, and they have substantially fewer nasty chemicals.
The Chinese invented it.
Check out "Electronic Cigarette" on Wikipedia.
thanks Matt I have found it

but this one is somewhat different as it is nicotine free and operates slightly different.
interesting…i guess lawyers might get involved soon when these two parties discover each others products
An interesting concept. I wonder if it will take off.
actually that could easily work because alot of smokers actually just have an oral fixation and just need something in their mouth.
Looks good when you read about it, but Mismo looks daft when you see the actual video

I like this idea. I am interested in trying them out. Is there a way to get a free trial?
