2. The electronic cigarette as described in claim 1 , wherein, the projection light source is a laser emitter.

3. The electronic cigarette as described in claim 1 , wherein, the projection light source is a spotlight having a reflecting shade.

4. The electronic cigarette as described in claim 1 , wherein, the projection assembly further comprises an independent circuit board for controlling the light source, and the light source control unit comprises a light source control circuit which is integrated on the circuit board and a light source control switch which is connected with the light source control circuit.

5. The electronic cigarette as described in claim 1 , wherein, the projection assembly further comprises a lamp sleeve for positioning the projection assembly to the main rod, and the lamp sleeve is cylindrical, and has its one end threadedly connected with the main rod, and its another end configured with a flange radially inwardly extended to abut against the slide unit and formed with a projection window for images of the slide unit to be projected out.

6. The electronic cigarette as described in claim 1 , wherein, the main rod comprises a power rod and a sucking rod mutually connected with the power rod; the power rod is configured with a battery therein, and the sucking rod is configured with an atomizing device therein electrically connected with the battery.

7. The electronic cigarette as described in claim 6 , wherein, the nozzle is configured at an end of the sucking rod away from the power rod, the projection assembly is configured at an end of the power rod away from the sucking rod.

8. The electronic cigarette as described in claim 6 , wherein, the electronic cigarette further comprises an atomizing control unit which is electrically connected with the battery for controlling the turn-on or turn-off of the atomizing device, and the atomizing control unit comprises an atomizing control circuit and an atomizing control switch connected with the atomizing control circuit.

9. The electronic cigarette as described in claim 8 , wherein, the atomizing control switch is a sensing switch.

10. The electronic cigarette as described in claim 9 , wherein, the sensing switch is a capacitance-type sensing switch or an airflow sensing switch.

11. The electronic cigarette as described in claim 9 , wherein, the atomizing control circuit is integrated within the sensing switch.

12. The electronic cigarette as described in claim 9 , wherein, the atomizing control unit further comprises an atomizing control circuit board connected with the battery and the sensing switch respectively, and the atomizing control circuit is integrated on the atomizing control circuit board.

13. The electronic cigarette as described in claim 8 , wherein, the atomizing control switch is a key switch, and the atomizing control unit further comprises an atomizing control circuit board connected with the battery and the key switch respectively, and the atomizing control circuit is integrated on the atomizing control circuit board.

14. An electronic cigarette device, comprising an electronic cigarette, and further comprising an electronic cigarette casing, for accommodating the electronic cigarette, the electronic cigarette comprising a main rod with a nozzle configured at its one end, wherein, the main rod is further configured with a projection assembly at its another end away from the nozzle, the projection assembly comprises a projection light source, a slide unit configured in front of the projection light source and a light source control unit connected with the projection light source to control operation of the projection light source; wherein a convex lens is coaxially configured between the projection light source and the slide unit; and the slide unit comprises a slide and a locking groove for insertion of the slide, and the locking groove is defined by two parallel and spaced glasses.
