It is hard to believe that electronic cigarettes have been around since 2003! Ok, well.. they were in China in 2003 but still, I think most people would be surprised to learn how long they have been around. Today there are so many varieties and models available that it makes your head spin thinking of what you might want or need if you are shopping.

Few musical acts in the last decade have captured global attention quite like The Chainsmokers — the Grammy-winning electronic-pop duo known for mega-hits like “Closer,” “Don’t Let Me Down,” and “Something Just Like This.” Their music dominates festivals, playlists, and radio charts. But oddly enough, when new fans first encounter the name, the reaction is almost always the same: “Are these guys… actual chain smokers?” The name itself is provocative — smoky, edgy, and a little mysterious.
