Abstract

A simulated smoking device ( 1 ) comprising a simulated cigarette having a substantially cylindrical cigarette-like shape and a refill device ( 2, 50 ) having a substantially cuboid housing with a cigarette pack-like shape containing refill gas ( 32, 59 ) for the simulated cigarette and having means for selectively retaining the simulated cigarette. The simulated cigarette may be retained wholly within the housing. It may be retained at a location different from the refill location. A dose counter may be provided to give a visual indication of the doses in the refill device.
