Why is your character carrying said item to work?

Nathan Corvo smokes a lot and has a pretty strong nicotine addiction. He already starts with one pack of cigarettes as it is, but generally smokes them throughout a round until they are gone. In order to save himself some money, frustration, and have more fine control of his nicotine levels, as well as to appear more congenial with less harmful smoke and a less messy medium, when he is off duty, Nathan smokes vaporizers. If possible, I'd like him to be able to have one at work, because it goes with his aesthetic of being a little bit trendy and caring greatly about his hygiene and appearance. [/hr]

Item function(s): Exactly like a normal cigarette, except you don't have to swap it out or light it, it just comes on like a pen light and then smoke comes out, and can even look just like a normal cigarette (or maybe silver). It could be funny to make it require recharging from time to time, or make juice for it, but, I don't think this is necessary, it could just be loaded and have a few hours of smoke in it. It should probably still be injectable like a normal cigarette, but, that's also not super important to me if it makes developing it harder. Even more extended function would be to make it flavorable with juice from dispensers, but again, these are all super cool things that are not necessary and can be added in some later time if the item is chosen for creation.

Item description: This is a vaporizer pen. It is a tiny item. It is currently off/on.

Item appearance:

A single, slim, silver, electric, cigarette-shaped vaporizer. [/hr]

How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP?

Nathan Corvo accidentally gets dinged a lot for smoking in non-smoking areas (and generally discards his cigarette immediately upon realizing his mistake), a vaporizer is arguably acceptable in non-smoking areas, and might allow him to get his smoke on in more situations. It is a highly prized object for him, so, taking his vaporizer from him would be a great way to make him really angry (much like calling him "Nate", his other big peeve). Just like in real life, vaporizers are interesting little conversation pieces, as well as something that some people have strong opinions about either in favor or against, so some discussion, conflict, and interest could arise over it. I think the item might be popular enough that other people might request a vaporizer of their own, and vaping can be a thing (which is simultaneously awesome and annoying in my view, which makes me think it'd probably be a pretty fun thing in SS13).

Additional comments:

I wouldn't be surprised if someone had already asked for this, and if this is a repeat, I'm sorry, I did a search and didn't hit anything. Don't keel me if i missed it.

I actually don't think that this has been applied for in the past, which is surprising considering how much it's joked about. I think it's a good idea, honestly, and I'm surprised that in 2459, vaporizers just don't... exist? Or at least aren't on the station. And you have a decent reason for the character having the vape. As for what it would contribute, I can't wait to see the arguments that go over because of this vape, and your first target must be Medbay.

I guess what I'm really trying to say is:

It needs to also contain the recording of a ecuadorian woman singing

[Coalf]

Well it makes sense something like this would exist and the reason nobody applied for it before?

Just the meme, that's it, it was a massive meme.

Give it 3 months and someone will apply for a fidget spinner

I'll accept the item, but I better not see this being used just for the sake of making a lot of absolutely stupid vape jokes.

Item done and added to the code, you should be able to spawn with it now.
