A battery powered device that emits a flavored fog containing nicotine (if the user prefers it) when inhaled. It is an alternative to real cigarettes, and contains no tobacco, tar, or the thousands of chemicals in tobacco smoke. It also produces no second hand smoke which makes it legal to smoke in most establishments.

The device uses a liquid to produce the fog. The liquid consists of pharmaceutical grade Propylene Glycol, flavorings, and nicotine. Nicotine amounts are typically available in ranges of 0-36 mg. A small amount of users will experience an allergic reaction to PG and should discontinue use if symptoms appear. Care should be taken to keep the liquid out of reach of children and/or pets as nicotine is a poison.

The E-cig comes in various models and colors, most of which are similar to the size of actual cigarettes and cigars.

Although E-Cig and E-Cigarette are most commonly used, they are not the best terms to describe the device. A more appropriate term would be "personal vaporizer" or "personal inhaler".

e-cigarrette 

A "fake" cigarrette designed to help people quit smoking or provide a healthy alternative to smoking. E-cigarrettes contain nothing but nicotine and water vapor. Tobacco companies and the FDA are opposed to e-cigarrettes because trace amounts of carcenogens were found in e-cigarrettes made in China.

The advantages of e-cigarrettes are useless when compared to regular cigarrettes which contain over 4,000 chemicals including embalming fluid (good for dead people), and rat poison (good for people afraid of rats). Real cigarrettes are proven to cause cancer (population control) and if smoked by a pregnant person could cause serious health issues including death to a fetus (birth control).

If you ever come into contact with an e-cigarrette, be careful not to be distracted by the shiny LED light, stick to your guns and smoke that god given bowl or marajuana.
Every time you smoke an e-cigarrette, big tobacco kills a puppy.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
