The Realistic Stage Cigarette for Theatre, Film & Live Performances

Most theatres, film sets and live venues do not allow real cigarette smoking. But many productions still need the look and feel of a character smoking on stage. This stage cigarette solves exactly that problem. It’s a real e-cigarette designed to look as close as possible to a traditional cigarette. When the actor inhales, the tip lights up and visible vapour appears giving the audience an authentic smoking effect without the smell, ash, fire risk or legal issues of real cigarettes.

Who It’s For

This product is made specifically for professional use by:

• Event producers and live performers

How It Works

The device is a e-cigarette system built inside a cigarette-style body for maximum realism.

1. Charge the battery using the included USB charger.
2. Screw a cartridge onto the battery (simple thread system).
3. The actor inhales normally - no buttons, no refilling, no settings.
4. The tip glows red with an internal LED, like a lit cigarette.
5. A mild vapour is produced, visible from the audience similar to cigarette smoke.

Everything can be prepared before the actor goes on stage so they simply pick it up and use it in the scene.
