Ask the MB: E-Cigarette

Ask the MB: E-Cigarette
Q: Can you tell me your thoughts about the ECigarette?
--Randall

A: Randall, besides being a gross violation of the principle of organic materials, the first time we saw this thing we thought it was a gag gift, on par with fake vomit and fake dog shit. Remarkably it's real (and incidentally delivers a real dose of nicotine). Can you tell how we feel? If not, we've created a useful chart below.
