Why has no one invented or produced a combination vape device and cell phone?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33520points) June 30th, 2023

It seems a natural to me, for people who vape. Both devices require proximity to the mouth. And vape devices required electricity to work (low voltage) so they can get power from the cell battery.

You wouldn’t be able to vape while watching something on the screen or typing.

While both items are small, a combination of them would be bulky.

You wouldn’t be able to use it on a plane.

As far as “proximity to the mouth”, I use airpods with my phone, it is never near my mouth.

Besides, vaping is a disgusting habit.

Expensive engineering for what is at best a niche market, and in many jurisdictions you are required to print health warnings on the packaging. I doubt that phone manufacturers want to be associated with pictures of cancerous lungs.

Like @ragingloli said, too small of a market. They’d also be highly criticized, if not stopped altogether, for encouraging an unhealthy habit which is already in hot water with lawmakers.

I guess a good start would be for a manufacturer to figure out what percentage of the population vapes. 5 percent? 3 percent? 10 percent? So your potential sales would be limited to only that percentage of the population.

Possible age restrictions for being able to purchase a vape could create problems for buying the phone plus LEOs would be checking IDs to verify kid is old enough & I can hear the news stories coming out of that one!!!
