Around 1950, society began to realize that an increasing number of people were developing health problems from smoking tobacco cigarettes. In 1963, the American Herbert A. Gilbert presented the first prototype of the electronic cigarette. However, the actual origin of the device as we know it today dates back to 2003, when the Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik developed the first commercial product that exploited ultrasound technology, motivated by the death of his father, a heavy smoker, from cancer to the lungs. Development and Distribution of Electronic Cigarette Hon Lik applies its first patent on the electronic cigarette, which was introduced into the Chinese market by Golden Dragon Holdings and later under the company name of Ruyan, in order to better match the company name to the product ( “Ruyan” literally means “almost like smoke”). Ruyan continued development and the distribution of the electronic cigarette to become one of the largest producers in the world. Similarly, Dr. Sam Han (Cixi E-CIG Technology) is also credited with a number of inventions related to e-cigarette technology, including four patents in the United States and two in China. After the distribution of Ruyan and Cixi E-CIG e-cigarettes in Asia, the products also began to be sold in significant quantities on the Internet. In Europe, the product first gained popularity in the UK thanks to Greg Carson, the first to “Westernize” the “Electro Fag” electronic cigarette.

I didn’t think that the first electronic cigarette prototype was invented in the 60s.
very interesting article, thank you!
Non avevo idea che la loro origine risalisse agli anni ’60 con Herbert A. Gilbert e poi con Hon Lik. Molto interessante anche il ruolo di Ruyan nella diffusione del prodotto. Ottimo lavoro nell’illuminare questi dettagli storici
