Smokers, listen up. If you're looking for a way to get around the state's smoking ban, there's a new product on the market that might interest you.

It's a battery-operated tube that uses cartridges containing, among other things, nicotine and tobacco flavor. It emits water vapors rather than smoke. Does that mean you can still use it in bars?

``If they have no tobacco in them, as we've heard they don't, they would be allowed, simply because they would fall outside the regulation of what the law includes," said Don Harrington with the Arizona Department of Health Services.

``It's supposed to simulate some kind of vapor or smoke-like aura about it, but yet not having tobacco smoke," he said.

At this point, you can get the smokeless cigarettes only online. A five-pack of cartridges sells for $10. Each cartridge is equal to about two packs of cigarettes.

The product is not really marketed for people trying to quit smoking, said Michael Murphy with DHS, but rather for people who want to light up in bars and other places where smoking is banned.

``If you're going to quit smoking, there are much easier and much less expensive ways to go about doing it," Murphy said. ``Through the state, we offer assistance to stop smoking."
