Claim:
1. A virtual or augmented reality smoking system, comprising: a smoking implement shaped device; an image generator which generates images of a virtual or augmented reality environment; a viewing device receiving images from the image generator, a movement sensor in the smoking implement shaped device which transmits data corresponding to position and motion of the smoking implement shaped device; a movement sensor tracker coupled to the movement sensor and the image generator, wherein the image generator is capable of producing an image based upon information provided to the image generator from the movement sensor tracker, a camera operative to record live images of a live environment in front of the viewing device, and a mixer which overlays the live images with the virtual or augmented reality environment and transmits a combined live and virtual or augmented reality environment to the viewing device, wherein the viewing device is capable of displaying images of the combined live and virtual or augmented reality environment from the image generator in conjunction with the smoking implement shaped device, wherein if the movement sensor tracker provides a first signal, then the image generator generates an image of a burning end on the smoking implement shaped device combined with the live images, wherein if the movement sensor tracker provides a second signal, then the image generator generates an image of an exhalation within the viewing device combined with the live images, and/or wherein if the movement sensor tracker provides a third signal, then the image generator generates an image of a sidestream smoke emission from an end of the smoking implement shaped device combined with the live images, wherein the smoking implement shaped device includes a releasable flavorant or aroma emitting additive located in the smoking implement shaped device, and wherein a pattern and characteristics of the sidestream smoke emission are controllable based on ambient conditions in a room of the live environment, and at least one sensor for sensing the ambient conditions in the room, and wherein the ambient conditions include at least one of airflow and temperature.
