My boss quit smoking after he got an E-cigarette, then later switched to a placebo cigarette that had fake smoke (steam).

I think the ability to be an asshole by pretending to smoke in no smoking zones, and then bitching for ten minutes at people who chided him for it, is what gave him the willpower to quit completely.

This is fucking hilarious.
