ð INSTEAD OF LIGHTING UP — A DEVICE ALLOWS USERS TO GET THEIR FIX THROUGH WATER VAPOR--AND IT LOOKS IDENTICAL TO THE REAL THING. BUT AS JEREMY JOJOLA FOUND OUT, NOT EVERYONE IS HAPPY ABOUT THE 'E-CIGARETTE' THAT CAN BE PUFFED INDOORS. JEREMY. THEY LOOK LIKE REAL CIGARETTES---BUT SMOKERS WHO USE THEM DON’T CALL IT SMOKING ... THEY CALL IT 'VAPING' A NICOTINE DELIVERY DEVICE THAT CAN LEGALLY BE USED INSIDE. IS IT SAFER? THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T THINK SO AND IT'S TRYING TO STOP SHIPMENTS OF THEM INTO THE U-S. FOR SMOKERS BANISHED FROM RESTAURANTS AND BARS---THERE'S THE 'ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE'. 'no tobacco, no smell, no fire, no second hand smoke' THEY LOOK LIKE THE REAL THING---BUT THAT'S NOT SMOKE---IT'S VAPOR, SPIKED WITH NICOTINE. 'I used it in the doctors office... hahaha.' JO DAVIS OF ALBUQUERQUE SAYS IT'S HER FINAL KEY TO QUITTING AFTER THE NICOTINE PATCH AND GUM FAILED. 'it addresses the whole issue of smoking, the hand thing, the oral gratification...and even smoke.' DOMINIC MONTOYA SELLS THEM IN ALBUQUERQUE UNDER THE NAME SMOKESOURCE 51---HIS SALES PITCH---THEY'RE HEALTHIER AND CLEANER FOR CUSTOMERS. 'they're feeling a lot better, they no longer have the smell because there's no secondary smoke.' BUT THERE IS A CLOUD OF SUSPICION OVER THE E-CIGARETTE. THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINSTRATION SAYS THEY 'COULD LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN THE USE OF CONVENTIONAL TOBACCO PRODUCTS BY YOUNG PEOPLE'THE FDA HAS ALSO STARTED TO REFUSE IMPORTATION OF THE DEVICE FROM CHINA, BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN APPROVED BY THE GOVERNMENT. THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY HAS THE SAME CONCERNS. 'these products are flying under the radar of state and federal regulations, and so we are really urging our public officials to take a very close look at these products...' BUT IS THE COST WORTH IT? YOU CAN FIND THESE E-CIGARETTES ONLINE FOUR ABOUT 30 DOLLARS... AT THE LOCAL MALLS HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE---THE Y'RE GOING FOR 150 DOLLARS-- THE AVERAGE PRICE FOR A CARTON...
