Marlboro Fun

Three Ontario entrepreneurs are hoping to capitalize on the provincewide smoking ban by importing and selling a smokeless and tobacco-free cigarette.

The Revelle Prestige looks and acts like a marlboro fun without the harmful side effects, according to Rick Butera, a business owner in Leamington, near Windsor, Ont.

Euphemistically called a nicotine delivery device, it replicates the act of smoking using a nicotine cartridge, a microchip and a water-vapour mist. When the user inhales through the tip, the battery-driven chip activates an atomizer which creates a nicotine-flavoured water-vapour mist.
