Description:
Smoking without dying is every smoker’s fondest dream. Simply quitting is much easier said than done and hundreds of thousands of smokers have tried to quit multiple times. Finally there is a viable alternative; electronic cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes enable smokers to avoid the damage combusted tobacco does, yet avoid withdrawals or having to “break the habit”.
Electronic cigarette use is one-sixth the cost, doesn’t stink, or stain walls and teeth. Furthermore there are no objectionable smells and can be enjoyed almost anywhere where smoking is banned (bars/clubs/public transportation). Users inhale a vaporized propylene glycol liquid (cake mix additive) that contains nicotine and flavorant, all that’s exhaled is a water vapor. Best of all, electronic cigarettes are far healthier and have little to no health drawbacks. Smokers sicken or die from the other chemicals found in traditional cigarettes (tar, carbon monoxide, cyanide), not the nicotine itself.
We plan to sell electronic cigarettes using an innovative design that has not hit the market yet. It'll be like when the iPhone was first introduced into the market. And to top it all off, our electronic cigarettes will be using a next generation atomizer, called the "aquamizer", which will easily set us apart from the rest of the competition. The main advantage of it over the traditional "cartomizer" technology, is that it uses no cotton at all inside, allowing it to produce a better tasting vapor than its predecessor.
