Abstract

Electronic Rechargeable Smoking Unit is a fully self-contained device for smoking tobacco. The Unit uses an electrically heated element in addition to oxygen that is induced by inhalation on the Unit to combust the tobacco that is placed within the chamber. No oxygen can be induced without the user inhaling through the mouthpiece. Therefore, the tobacco only burns whilest the user is inhaling resulting in all the smoke from the tobacco passing through the lungs of the user. There is a replaceable/reusable filter placed between the burn chamber and the mouthpiece. The Unit also comes with a hose that can be attached to the mouthpiece as an extension tube. The mouthpiece of the hose contains a switch to control the circuit.
