Tobacco companies could help themselves

[sherid]

I love it. We're all walking around with our slim, small, mostly "real" sized e-cigs...and tobacco companies are coming out with this 80's cell phone brick. Nice.

That was the 80's version. I am sure that they have something way more sophisticated now. You might even be using it and not know its origin.

Sounds like this one heats tobacco as well. They tried that once, didn't work.

Anyone who thinks they are not already deeply involved is, IMO, naive

By involved I meant imbracing the technology and helping to perfect it.

I might be a noob but I'm not naive.

Actually, patent was 2002, with test marketing in Germany in 2007. This is what they want us to use NOW. It would be better for them to buy out an existing e-cig company and market those products.
