I don't smoke either, but my understanding is that the electronic 
cigarette contains a battery-powered heater and a reservoir of 
nicotine-containing liquid.  Some are designed to be thrown away once 
the battery power and/or liquid are used up, others can have both the 
battery and liquid replaced.
