If the risks of the electronic cigarette for health are still debated in the society, the digital risk would exist according to the site Geek.com. A simple e-cigarette battery would be enough for a hacker to spread malware (malware for your computer system).
THE E-CIGARETTE: AN OBJECT THAT ALLOWS EASILY ATTACKING A COMPUTER SYSTEM
According to some media, the electronic cigarette would be an ideal tool to attack a computer system and distribute malware, the hacker only has to plug the battery into a smart tool to then break the cybernetic security systems.
It is therefore the lithium-ion battery which connects directly to a USB input via a cable which is used by hackers. According to Sky News, during the B-Sides convention in London last week, Ross Bevington, a security researcher, has demonstrated how easily an electronic cigarette can be used to attack a computer either by interfering with its network traffic or by cheating the machine (making it believe that the battery is a keyboard or a mouse).
With a few simple tweaks on the electronic cigarette, it is quite possible to issue arbitrary commands or install malware on any computer. Obviously, one should not expect an attack of the type " WannaCry "(Global cyberattack) because 
if an e-cigarette can contain malware, its space is quite limited.
According to Ross Bevington, who are " This limits the scale of attacks that could be developed with an electronic cigarette ”. For example, the "Wannacry" malware was " a hundred times bigger ”Compared to the space available in a conventional electronic cigarette. In the end, the best way to avoid attacks is to use complex passwords, to check that your computer has the most recent security patches and especially to remember to lock it when you leave.
But this phenomenon is not new! Already in 2014, a big Society whose name had not been disclosed had accused an e-cigarette as responsible for a security problem. In short, if a friend wants to connect his electronic cigarette to your computer, beware, it could corrupt your computer system (or not!)
