Big Tobacco jumping in with a Nicotine Aerosol dispenser...

Cigarette maker Philip Morris has developed an inhaler that could deliver a nicotine mist deep into the lungs, giving smokers a satisfying dose of the addictive drug without the carcinogens, gases and toxic metals that make tobacco smoke so dangerous. But the project appears to have stalled.


Cloaked in secrecy, the device was invented nearly a dozen years ago at a time the tobacco industry was vigorously denying that nicotine was addictive, internal company documents show.


It was part of an effort by the top cigarette maker to explore the possibility of offering a “clean” form of nicotine to those who can't or won't quit.


“The cigarette manufacturers don't want to kill their customers”, said Kenneth Warner, dean of the University of Michigan School of Public Health.


“That's simply an unfortunate side effect of use of the product”.


“If they can come up with a substitute that would capture the same-size market, they'd love it”, Warner said. It would “save them a lot of legal fees” and “they'd feel more virtuous”.

They have been looking at something like that since the 80's, You only need to look at the patent references for similar items, over the years, to see where they have been. And that's all of them. The first instance I came across was Reynolds in 1984, referencing the original e-cig patent, of 1965.

Do you think a DNA20 would fit in that?
