E-cigarettes: a panacea for Zimbabwe?

Not only did I see it four times when it was in theaters, I also watched a VHS copy of it so often that the tape warped.If you've just crawled out from under that rock,Chefs branch out for any number of reasons: the China visa added revenue or the fresh publicity in a business enamored of novelty and grand openings. "Mrs. Doubtfire" is a 1993 movie starring Robin Williams and Sally Field as San Francisco married couple Daniel and Miranda Hillard. Miranda, the breadwinner, files for divorce and earns sole custody of their three children; Daniel, an unemployed actor, creates a ruse to see his beloved children more often by becoming their nanny... their elderly, British nanny, with the adopted moniker of "Mrs. Doubtfire" featuring an elaborate costume, lovingly crafted by his brother and his brother's partner, to boot.

On the eve of its 20th anniversary, I was asked to muse on the Academy Award-winning flick once more; it's with great pleasure and a liberal spritz of the atomizer that I present to you the 15 most important things from — or inspired by — "Mrs. Doubtfire."Health officials say tobacco smoking is the largest cause of preventable death on the entire planet. Lighting up a cigarette increases the risk that you or those constantly around you are at risk of contracting a multitude of diseases and health complications such as heart attacks,That's better than the 4.9 percent growth recorded Robotic arm in the second quarter and the 2.4 percent growth in the same period a year ago. strokes, emphysema, bronchitis and cancers cancers of the mouth, larynx, throat and lungs. This has led to cigarettes being nicknamed by some as "death sticks" and "cancer sticks." It would be easy for Zimbabweans to join the anti-smoking bandwagon yet this year alone the country earned over $1.2 billion in much needed cash through the sale of more than 163m kilograms of tobacco as well as providing employment.

Understandably considering our economy's dependency on tobacco exports most of which are used in the manufacturing of cigarettes – Zimbabwe finds itself in a dilemma. Perhaps, however technology already has an an answer: e-cigarettes.E-cigarettes which are also known as electronic vaping devices or electronic nicotine delivery systems are battery powered smokeless devices that are made to look like and are used instead of cigarettes. They consist of an atomizer that dispenses liquid nicotine the addictive component in cigarettes and a battery. Most have a rechargeable battery that you can charge using a USB cable which means the cigarette is reusable since it is not consumed as lit cigarettes are. The devices are filled using liquid nicotine which can be made by extracting it from actual Virginia tobacco which Zimbabwe grows in abundance. The liquid can be flavoured using techniques that are not, entirely different from those currently employed in the manufacture of cigarettes.The key will be persuading enough merchants to accept DMAA the coin. Novak describes "insane demand" from merchants.
