Are you one of those persons that tried to quit smoking, but every time you tried it, you felt it was in vain? You even tried those weird anti-tobacco chewing gums to no avail. Now you can try the SuperSmoker, an electronic device that efficiently helps smokers quit their vicious habit.

To be more specific, SuperSmoker is an electronic alternative to cigarettes that is said to offer a healthier and cheaper way for smokers to continue their habit as well as beat increasingly strict public smoking bans and even avoid cancer.

Apparently, SuperSmoker is a simple cigarette, but once you try it, you understand that it contains no tobacco, does not burn or emit real smoke. Instead, the electronic gizmo consists of a vaporization chamber and a disposable cartridge containing a liquid made up of a concoction of food products which create a tobacco like flavor. This liquid is automatically turned into vapors when the user needs to inhales and appears as traditional cigarette smoke without the potentially dangerous substances (though it does emit an aroma that emulates tobacco). This way, not only the smoker, but those around him/her will benefit from the SuperSmoker.

Nicotine is introduced in very small doses and each replaceable cartridge is equivalent to approximately 15-20 conventional cigarettes. The cartridges are also available in different strengths (normal, medium, light and zero). The electronic device uses rechargeable batteries which last for around a day under normal use. A red LED at the tip of the cigar blinks when the battery is almost dead.

According to the manufacturers, the SuperSmoker can be legally used in restaurants, clubs, bars and other public areas covered by smoking bans. SuperSmoker is available in the UK for now. You can get one electronic device for £79 (around USD$155) and a pack of six refills (complete with 12 spare filters) retails for £7.95 (USD$16). More info on the official site.
