126. I first heard about them about a year ago, and it might have been here at DU. It seems
that from some of the responses on this thread, they are more popular than I thought. They really are quite amazing, simulating smoking without the smoke. :) There is actually a movement by some states/governments to get them banned. Imagine all the loss of tobacco revenue if these really caught on.

There are disposal kits available on the Internet and maybe you can get one for your friend to see if your friend likes it. :) I already have planned to get one for a dear friend of mine.
