Japan Tobacco tries to catch up with rival in vaping

If this Ploom-tech is smokeless, what is all that smoke in the picture?

These "smokeless" devices do produce smells and unpleasant odours and smoke-free restaurants and cafes should not allow their use.

Fighting a losing battle I hope.

Sell patches.. ban smoking thanks!

If people like things in their mouths well.. have a lollipop or something.

It's not smoke in the picture. It's a water like vapour that probably contains a cocktail of additives, flavourings and chemicals?

And another thing I don't want to inhale. I hope vaping gets the same treatment as tobacco.

Inhaling other peoples's vapes is as annoying as inhaling their tobacco smoke. Here, some people do it on the train and it's gross. It should be treated like tobacco smoke.

These things are just as gross as real tobacco products. It's like passing gas and assuming the people around you enjoy it.

Latest scientific investigations show that these Vaping devices are no less damaging that Cigarettes.... so it's just a new fad that will disappear eventually as being a socially unacceptable behaviour.
