It was not all that long ago that there was no real alternative to smoking – you either smoked tobacco products like cigars, cigarettes, etc; or you filled a pipe and smoked it; about the only alternative was to stop smoking. Then, somewhat out of the blue, anywhere where you might expect to see smokers; there was someone with a strange plastic device in his (or her) mouth happily puffing away with the rest of them.

What Happened & Why?

The simple answer is that all of those puffing on the devices are not smoking; they are indulging in something known as vaping (the devices are known as e-cigarettes; or e-cigs) and the first patent for a no-tobacco; no-smoke device was actually granted in 1963 for a device that produced a sort of nicotine laced steam. This generated some interest; but, it never caught on and it had disappeared from smoking areas within four years.

It is widely thought that a Chinese pharmacist by the name of Hon Lik was the first to develop a device that turned into today’s e-cig. In his 2003 prototype, he used something that many smokers are very familiar with; a piezoelectric cell similar to those found in cheap disposable cigarette lighters to ignite the lighter’s gas fuel.

Piezoelectricity is an electric charge that is found (mainly) in certain crystals; when pressure (such as squeezing) is applied to the crystal, an electric charge is generated. Using piezoelectricity in conjunction with ultrasound; Lik was able to vaporize a pressurized jet of propylene glycol containing a nicotine solution – the e-cig was born. The vaporized liquid mix has a smoke like appearance and is of low enough temperature to be inhaled (by a vaper) enabling nicotine to be drawn into the lungs and then enter the bloodstream.

His e-cig was first marketed in China in 2004 as an aid for people quitting smoking; it attracted attention outside of China and exports commenced in 2005 through a company whose Chinese name translates as “Resembling smoking”. They acquired an International Patent in 2007 and, subsequently, Imperial Tobacco Group plc purchased intellectual property rights for US$75 million.

From A Novelty To A Major Seller
