1. An electronic cigarette comprising:
a main body comprising a vaporising light source;
a cartridge configured to be removably assembled to the main body, wherein the cartridge includes a liquid store for storing a vaporisable medium and an absorber configured to be heated by radiation emitted by the vaporising light source in order to vaporise the vaporisable medium; and
an enabling device adapted to enable propagation of radiation from the vaporising light source to the absorber only when the cartridge is assembled to the main body, such that the vaporising light source cannot propagate light outside the electronic cigarette when the cartridge is disassembled from the main body, and wherein the enabling device comprises a light guide connected to the cartridge, wherein, when the main body and the cartridge are assembled together the light guide is positioned to direct radiation emitted by the vaporising light source towards the absorber.
