The latest trend in disposable electronic cigarettes manifests as a continuous innovation in screen technology, evolving from simple digital displays to the application of touchscreens. Recently, a disposable e-cigarette brand introduced the first publicly reported touchscreen product in the United States, marking a significant milestone. The integration of touchscreens in e-cigarettes can be traced back to the large vape products of 2015, and now touchscreen features have become quite prevalent in this domain. In the realm of smaller vape devices, specifically refillable products, touchscreen usage commenced around 2019. The article elaborates on the working principles of capacitive touchscreens and their gradual expansion beyond smartphones into various sectors such as automotive electronics, retail, healthcare, public facilities, and leisure and entertainment. This trend signifies the electronic cigarette industry's ongoing pursuit of technological innovation by incorporating elements like touchscreens into their products.Before we continue, I need to check the content policy.

从简单的黑白数码显示，到彩色TFT屏，再到触摸屏，一次性电子烟的屏幕“风”正愈演愈烈。据悉，近期有电子烟品牌在美国推出了首款可触屏的一次性电子烟。
这个产品之所以被关注，是因为它为第一款被公开报道的触控屏一次性电子烟。而触控屏在电子烟上的应用，最早可追溯到2015年上市的一款大烟产品。时至今日，大烟用触控屏也是非常常见。至于小烟，换弹式的产品用触控屏，大约是在2019年，有相关产品上市。
触控屏简介及工作原理
目前大部分消费电子产品应用的触控屏都是电容式，早期手机用的电阻式因为有划痕等已经被淘汰很久了。
触控的技术概念在上世纪40年代就已经被提出，而第一块真正意义上的触控屏则是在1965年由英国皇家雷达公司的工程师埃里克·亚瑟·约翰逊（Eric Arthur Johnson）制造出来的。
约翰逊最初在《Electronics Letters》上发表的文章中描述了他的这项成果，即我们现在所称的电容式触摸屏。
Johnson在《Electronics Letters》上发表的文章
电容式触摸屏利用人体的电流感应进行工作，简单的电容屏是一个四层复合玻璃板，其中有层ITO材料。ITO是一种氧化铟锡材料，透明并且可以导电，适合用于制造触摸屏幕。
其工作原理是：当手指接触屏幕上某个部位时，就会与ITO材料构成耦合电容，改变触点处的电容大小。屏幕的四个角会有导线，由于交流电可以通过电容器，四个导线的电流会奔向触点，并且电流大小与到触点的距离有关。手机内部的芯片可以分析四个角的电流，通过计算就可以得到触点的位置。
在应用上，电容式触控屏目前仍然以智能手机市场为主。但在手机以外的应用，如汽车电子、零售、医疗、公共设施、休闲娱乐等领域，电容触控屏市场份额正在逐步增长。
