One of the things I’ve always been happy about is that I never picked up smoking. My parents both smoked a lot when I was a kid, so I think that seeing a cloud of smoke in the living room was enough to turn me off to them. Unfortunately for those that have picked up the habit, it’s a tough one to kick. We’ve seen gum and patches that are supposed to help you quit, but what about gadgets? We’ve already seen a couple of electronic cigarettes, and now SuperSmoker’s Blue is the latest one to his stores.

SuperSmoker has launched their interesting cigarette alternative, which should be much healthier than your ordinary cancer stick. These devices look very much like a regular cigarette, but instead of having you inhale all of the toxic chemicals that you usually find, you’ll only find nicotine. Since nicotine is the addictive ingredient, most people should be able to switch without much of an issue. They even went as far as to use the same filters, giving you an even more realistic experience.

One of the big issues with most cigarette alternatives is the price. Smoking is costly enough, but special patches and gum are usually even more pricey. SuperSmoker claims that they will actually save you money in the long run, as their cartridges are a better value than packs of cigarettes. You’ll need to dish out an initial cost of $139, and $18.95 for each 24-pack of cartridge replacements. I won’t pretend to know the price of a pack of cigarettes, but when you consider that each cartridge is the equivalent of  4 cigarettes. You can purchase the cartridges in Zero, Light, Menthol and Regular, each of which has a different level of nicotine.

The Crown7 electronic cigarette delivers your hit of nicotine whenever you need it. Just turn it on, pull it to your lips and take a drag of your favorite body chemistry changing drug; it’s a lot like the real thing, sans the fire. No longer will the masses be forced to drag around boxes of highly taxed death sticks or be forced in to submission by fire; this electronic cigarette delivers a statement on your ability to both scoff at the smoking bans and announce your over-dependence on an outside chemical to the world.

Available in a sleek narco-stick (100$) format as well as the more elegant pipe (150$) and the basic cigar (67$). Replacement Nicotine cartridges run about 10$, less if you buy in bulk. The high price may offset some, but if you’re buying cigarettes, you should be used to extreme price gouging already.
