While the European Commission has launched a shock campaign against tobacco for those who are more motivated by stick than carrot, a Swiss company has developed a smoke and tobacco-free cigarette for no-smoking restaurants, bars – and even aeroplanes.

NicStic consists of a heating element and a changeable filter that contains nicotine.

The NicStic goes on sale in Germany at the end of next year and comes in a box that looks like a cigarette packet and includes a charger and batteries as well as spare filters.
