Problems solved by technology

Most types of smoking mechanisms have disadvantages including, but not limited to, tar, second-hand smoke, and exposure to a wide range of toxins including, but not limited to, nitrogen dioxide, acrolein, carbon monoxide, lead, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, mercury, and other harmful substances.

While nicotine is the primary cause of smoking addiction, many of the harmful effects from smoking are the results of carcinogens found in tobacco, or the plant material from tobacco used for smoking.

Nicotine replacement therapies, such as nicotine gum, are widely used, but the ritual of smoking poses another challenge.

Cannabis abuse among chronic users is also seen, especially when raw cannabis plant materials are consumed by smoking.

Delivering cannabinoids through membranes in mammals remains a challenge.

When a person needs a certain substance to be delivered into his / her body, but the substance is only available in smoke-able form, that person's options may be limited.

A person wishing to consume the compounds found in the marijuana plants due to health reasons and under legal conditions may be limited to smoking the plant materials.

Some simply dislike smoking due to the stigma associated with the habit.

While eliminating some of the disadvantages of smoking by a cigarette or pipe, vaporizers are bulky, hard to set up, and inconvenient to use.
