Abstract

A nicotine vaporizer is provided with a housing with a battery compartment size for a pair of AA dry cells and a compartment for containing tobacco, a lower portion of which has a hole for passing tobacco into a firebox cavity arranged there below and shiftable from a tobacco receiving to a tobacco burning position. Electric coil means are set in the firebox cavity and energized to bring the tobacco to combustion temperature. A mouth piece equipped suction tube extends into the housing so that as air is withdrawn through the suction tube with the coil energized the tobacco will combust as to the microcharge contained in the firebox cavity. The microcharge of tobacco is of such volume that no more smoke is created than can be processed by the lungs in one breath.
