Tech is good for you: Quit smoking with ludicrous gadgets

Ruyan
The Ruyan is a battery-powered nicotine inhaler that looks and acts like a ciggy, but it won't melt holes in your lungs.

According to its makers, Golden Dragon Group, it's loaded with nicotine, which can be delivered to the lungs in 7 to 10 seconds. It even emits smoke-like vapour so it looks pretty authentic (from a distance) -- and you can legally use it indoors.

The Ruyan is pretty hard to get hold of, but you can import one from a number of European countries for around $208 (£103).
