Abstract
A simulated smoking device comprising a simulated cigarette having a cigarette-like shape and a refill device. A drawer is provided in the side of the refill device with a recess for the simulated cigarette. A resilient member biases the drawer open to allow access to the simulated cigarette. A latch is releasable by an inward movement of the drawer whereupon the drawer is unlatched and urged by the resilient member to the open position. The latch is automatically engageable upon closure of the drawer to hold the drawer in a closed position against the action of the resilient member.
