Rigoberto, aka the frail, thin man, tall, stubble, small eyes, long hair and bulbous nose, stood a couple of tables from the sixties members club. He ordered a cafe waiter, catching the attention of the diners with his raspy voice. After waiting a few minutes, looking suspicious, glanced around the local. Although elderly noticed attentive to their movements, did bite the bullet and pulled the bag from his jacket and long white object. He took it to his mouth and began to suck, which the unit responded by lighting a red light at the end. Then let go and gladly gave a whitish vapor vanished immediately upon contact with air. It was an electronic cigarette.

When a they came, the old, in the midst of a melodrama, complained reciting the entire article and the decree for the law prohibiting the consumption of snuff in public places.
