Amazing. It must be reeeealy important for those people to suck on a burning stick all day, or should I say, "artificial burning stick" Can't believe it.

I can just see this happening....someone gets used to using this device and quickly dropping it in their pocket when done.....next they light the really thing take a few draws and are done, drop the real thing in the pocket and ignition.
I saw adds for this on the TV. I literally almost fell off of the sofa laughing at this thing

This has been around for a bit.

I'm sure it was created to combat all the smoking bans.

It's not quite as funny when you actually do it. Yup, I've done it.

For those of us fighting the addiction it's actually a handy aid. The smoking habit is not only a visual thing it's also a tactile desire.

My brother has tried to quit multiple times--and was always unsuccessful--until he started "smoking" these.

I've never smoked a cigarette, but his explanation of the appeal was pretty convincing. Smoking addiction is a physiological and psychological condition; the chemicals in your body change and your mind becomes dependent on the comfort and release it associates with the habit.

So, the controllable release of nicotine satisfies the physiological demands of your altered body chemistry, but in a manner that allows you to slowly taper down.

The act of actually holding a "cigarette," the ritual of removing it from it's pack, the feel of it on your lips, these are all very important. Your body recognizes the pattern and relaxes, which in turn eases not only the psychological dependence, but actually diminishes the body's physiological resistance to change because it is tricked into a false sense of familiar security.

Gum cannot do that-- it is more prone to alert the body's natural defense mechanisms which strive to preserve the status quo, and thus resist a change to back to physiological "normalcy."

That said, I'm sure there are those who see these purely as an appealing novelty. That is sad.
