clipped from: blog.wired.com Remember when a transcontinental flight meant free booze, a delicious meal and an after-dinner cigarette? We don't either, but a Belgian company hopes its "electronic cigarette" once again makes lighting up part of the in-flight experience.
SuperSmoker says its electronic cigarette delivers nicotine through tobacco-flavored vapor without the annoying smoke of a true cigarette, which means "this device can't be placed under the smoking prohibition" that bars smoking on flights. The smokeless cigs were launched in Europe last spring, and now SuperSmoker says it is talking to at least one unnamed airline about allowing the battery-powered butts aboard long-haul flights. It also will be showing off the technology at the Aircraft Interiors Expo next month.
