BENEFITS:
Why Smokeless? Are Smoked Herbal
Cigarettes Safe?
It's very important to know that although
many herbal cigarettes are tobacco and nicotine free,
but they are NOT safe if you
light it up because they Do Contain TAR
and CO (Carbon Monoxide), which cause
hypoxemia (hypoxia) at lease, when
you burn it.
This smokeless product, which consists
of a herbs-flavored filter material - like that used
in a cigarette filter - looks and feels like a cigarette,
but contains no tobacco or nicotine, and does not burn.
The smokers simply draw or inhale on Yixing Herbal Cigarettes
whenever they have the desire to smoke a cigarettes.
With the increase in smoking restrictions,
these smokeless cigarettes are perfect to accommodate
smokers who are in smoke-free area such as libraries,
airports or restaurants, at a Smoke-Away day, or visiting
with friends who are non-smokers. It is a rewarding
smokeless alternative for adults who enjoy cigarettes
even if they want to quit. |
