Actinic cheilitis is a condition that affects the lips. Affected lips become puffy, dry, cracked, or ulcerated and change color, often to bright red or white.

A couple of weeks ago, I happened to be in the terminal at Orlando International Airport.  As I was walking to my gate, I noticed the man walking next to me had this cigarette-like thing between his lips, and appeared to be enjoying it like a true cigarette.  I smoked three packs a day for about 30 years before quitting, so I asked him what type of stick he was enjoying.  He said it was “Green Nicotine”, and gave me an explanation of how he was smoking without really smoking.

His explanation intrigued me, so when I got home I began to do a little research on this device…and that’s what it is; a device.  Green Nicotine is an electronic cigarette that runs on a battery that lasts for a little more than the equivalent cigarette pack .  It comes with two batteries so you can always keep one charged and ready to “smoke”.   To begin using, just inhale…no kidding!  There’s a computer chip that senses the moving air and activates it…the wonders of technology.
