My Father-in-Law had one of those but they got upset with him when he tried to use it on a plane. It does emit that faint steam and the tip of it lights up like a ciggy. Pretty crazy little invention. He eventually quit cold turkey after smoking a couple packs a day for something like 55 years. He had an ER visit while he was here once for bronchial spasms. Luckily my brother was the ER doc and he told him to get off the cigs. He hasn't smoked since.

The one I got actually produces as much or more vapor than a cigarette does smoke. Mine is black with a blue LED tip so it doesn't look like a cigarette, but I have no intention of "Vaping" in places where I wouldn't normally smoke. Then I would have to explain it to people....which means conversing with the general public....no thanks!

My team lead vapes right here in our control room.
I don't know what the official company stance is on such things... dunno that they've even thought to evaluate it... but it doesn't bother us. There's no unpleasant odor. I don't even know he's doing it unless I go over to his side of the room.
But I can see where some people might see someone exhaling the vapor and get all freaked out.

Good luck! I watched my Dad's life get cut short from lung cancer, so I'm behind anyone who wants to kick the habit.

I paid $92 after shipping and tax which included two complete 902 PV's (personal vaporizer), 5 extra blank cartridges and two bottles of nicotine juice (e-juice).

Still haven't smoked a cigarette....still haven't had an urge to.

Been over two weeks now, still haven't smoked or really had a craving to smoke an actual cigarette. 3 good friends of mine have made the switch now with similar results. One of them, a pack a day smoker, is down to a pack a week now...just like that.
