Art of Food



'US-based company Vapotrim has created an dessert-flavored e-cigarette-like inhaler, for those who want to taste their desserts without gaining weight.'


Available in 14 flavours and costing $9.95 (US) each. This way you can have your cake and eat it, but avoid the calories!


Using the technology of an e-cigarette it couples the taste-smell connection, making you feel full faster, thereby eating less and... ultimately losing weight!
