Vaping/Smoking in Sci-Fi

So I was watching Blade Runner for the 450th time last night and it got me thinking that there are people smoking in it (I know its noir etc). I can't think of any futuristic/sci-fi film I have ever seen had a different nicotine delivery device in it.

I always find it interesting that sci-fi is a reflection of the time its made in rather than the future we're going into, but it seems strange that so few directors/screenwriters have thought that there would be an alternative to smoking

Minority Report as I remember had some new form of device for administering opiates or something, not sure if I remember seeing any cigarettes.

In The 5th Element isn't he smoking some sort of cut down cigs?

In everything else I can think of they just smoke normal straight up cigarettes, thoughts?

E ciarettes have only been Around for a few years, is very new, Most movies, today, are remakes of old movies and comic books. The movies are made by people who SMOKE not people who vape.

You starting to see Vape show up On TV and movies. It just takes time.

Couldn't agree more about movies today, I was more pondering why something like vaping hadn't been thought up AS science fiction in the past.

Also I did notice vaping getting brought up in True Detective Season 2, but they weren't very kind about it ("Is that a F****ing e-cigarette?!")
