			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a style="float: left; padding-right: 10px;" href="http://societymd.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/2824547044_ecc66c3526_m.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-354" title="2824547044_ecc66c3526_m" src="http://societymd.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/2824547044_ecc66c3526_m.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="158" /></a>Investors and developers have recently created and marketed an <a href="http://www.cigarti.com/">electronic cigarette</a>.  The cigarette gives smokers a dose of nicotine and manages to avoid the  smoking ban because of its design. The electronic cigarette is a small  white stick, and looks a lot like a real cigarette. It has a chamber  inside that vaporizes liquid nicotine into steam. The chamber uses small  cartridges that are filled with the liquid substance. It is powered by  batteries, and has a red tip that glows like a real cigarette.</p>
<p>A  chamber inside the small stick heats up the cartridge when the smoker  takes a drag. In addition, the smoker can feel the nicotine “hit” almost  immediately. It contains a small battery and a chamber where you can  plug in a nicotine cartridge. When you suck on the cigarette, the  chamber heats up and reduces the nicotine to a vapor which you can  inhale.</p>
<p>Smokers can inhale the vapor without the risk of  inhaling harmful substances. Researchers are also saying that since the  cigarette contains only nicotine, it doesn’t cause cancer. Despite the  national smoking ban, the creators of the cigarette are saying that it  can be used inside of pubs. The electronic cigarette is available only  for those who are 18 and over, and is not suitable for pregnant or  breastfeeding women.</p>
<p>The cigarette is rechargeable, so you can  use it over and over again. It doesn’t have a flame, and it doesn’t  produce any smoke, making it ideal for indoors.</p>
<p>The following are some additional features of the electronic cigarette:</p>
<ul>
<li>The cigarette is warm to the touch, but the vapor cools as it reaches the mouth.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The cigarette is rechargeable, and it will last all day long for heavy smokers.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The purchase price usually includes two cigarettes, so you can have one on charge at home while you take the other one to work.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A pack of five electronic cigarettes (the equivalent of 100 regular cigarettes) costs around $7.00.</li>
</ul>
