    It feels like a cigarette, looks like a cigarette but it isn’t bad for your health.

    A Chinese company marketing the world’s first “electronic” cigarette hopes to double sales this year as it expands overseas and as some of China’s legions of smokers try to quit.

    Golden Dragon Group Ltd’s Ruyan cigarettes are battery-powered, cigarette-shaped devices that deliver nicotine to inhalers in a bid to emulate actual smoking.

    “The nicotine is delivered to the lungs within 7 to 10 seconds,” said Scott Fraser, Vice President of SBT Co. Ltd., the Beijing-based firm that first developed the electronic cigarette technology in 2003 and which is now controlled by Golden Dragon.

    “It feels like a cigarette, looks like a cigarette, it even emits vapor. In many ways, it is like an actual smoking experience, and that’s what makes us different.”

    The cigarettes sell for around 1,600 yuan ($208) apiece and are already available in China, Israel, Turkey, and a number of European countries, but not yet the United States.

    Why would I wanna spend money just to make people think I am smoking?
    Does everyone here thinks smoking makes you look cool?:p

    nah it gives you the nicotine which is what the body craves. minus the tar and other million cancerous chemicals you get in cigarettes

    finally! something that will help the smoking problem. even with smoking laws like not smoking in public places, etc. i still get a lot of second hand smoking by just standing at places waiting or walking down the street -_-* and even second hand smoke can cause lung problems, etc.

    I'm glad they came out with something like this.. it's not as bad as actual smoking...
