Has everyone seen the new infomercial for EZ Smoker? If not (totally worth it) watch here.
The cascade of ridiculousness in this product and its infomercial is blatantly apparent to anyone with a human brain. That is, with the exception of the poor souls who are actually buying EZ Smoker.
The ad calls it "an electronic cigarette". Join the digital age Marlboro Men. Now you can have a cigarette with no nicotine, no ashes, and no actual smoke. I know what you're thinking. Why don't I just suck on my finger? To which I reply, "yes, why don't you".
In the disclaimer, the ad mentions that "this is not a smoking cessation device". I would think not! Most people who smoke do so because they are addicted to the nicotine. With no nicotine in EZ Smoker, they'd get a better buzz off of a candy cigarette. That's it; just eat an entire pack of candy cigarettes and your sugar high will simulate the first 37 seconds into your real cigarette.
The only people who I could see buying EZ Smoker are people who think smoking makes them look cool. The irony is that EZ Smoker makes you look like a complete jackass. Did you see in the video the guy using EZ Smoker in the restaurant? He's sitting there, puffing away, and the waitress tells him he can't smoke. So he pretends to put the cigarette out on his hand. Wow, that is going to get you the ladies. Freak people out for half a second until they realize you are smoking a damn toy. While you're at it, shove the thing up your nostril and get the "smoke" to come out of your ears like a cartoon character. Or pretend to put it out on a baby. Everyone will just love you.
Other parts of this infomercial defy normal human behavior. Like the lady falling asleep in bed while smoking! Whaaaatt? Is that even possible? I'm no physician, but I don't think a jolt of nicotine to the bloodstream is a realistic recipe for snagging some instant Z's. Of course, the lady in this commercial was using EZ Smoker. She was understandably wiped after a day of trying to convince people she wasn't actually smoking in places she wasn't allowed to smoke.
And about those places. The infomercial says "you can now smoke in your home, or your office, and even restaurant or bars." Shouldn't that 'even' be in front of 'office'? There are plenty of restaurants and bars you can still smoke in. But offices? Seriously, the 60's called, they want their stereotypical work environment back. Who the heck is lighting up at work these days? Can you imagine?
"Uhh, Billy. We're in a meeting, inside the conference room, which happens to be in a building. You cannot smoke here."
"No prob bossman. This is an EZ Smoker. That smoke you see, it's just a virtually odorless vapor. That red tip, just a little light. In fact this whole device is designed to fool the masses, while coming clean if they actually ask about it, while making me feel like I'm actually smoking, while it is obvious to everyone, especially me, that I am not."
"Okay then. Could someone please punch Billy in the face?"

I agree, the EZ Smoker is a complete waste of time. There are other electronic cigarettes that I have used, but they contain nicotine, the point of smoking. I love them. But a friend had me try the EZ smoker, it's a complete waste of money, time, and oxygen.
