It was actually a long time ago when smokers or smoking in general was considered a social advantage; those were the times before the health movement spread immense awareness. In those times the smoker were considered elite and being a smoker has its elite benefits, like getting access to an exclusive club, smokers had their own social community which they considered superior. But now things have changed upside down, not only the smokers are smoking very less, there are very fewer places which even lets them smoke, it will not be surprise if someone stated that smoking is a crime in some places. Now the smoke breaks in offices is not but a wasted few minutes standing alone in the open.

The overall reaction of the society as a whole to ban smokers, is largely due to the awareness in the common people regarding the health risks it brings, hence more people are quitting smokes today, than ever before. If we bring together this former addiction of people, with another growing evil addiction of the society, dependence on the technology, we give birth to e-cigarettes. This might also be considered as a desperate attempt to restore the image of smoking. These devices are designed to deliver vaporized nicotine to the user along with the incentive of interacting with other people who have the similar addiction, smoking.
