Steeds meer initiatieven uit de hoek van Big Pharma, de natuurlijke vijand van de tabaksindustrie, worden gepubliceerd waarin ze aankondigen nieuwe alternatieven te hebben uitgevonden om de sigaret te vervangen.
Zo ontdekten wij plotseling deze aankondiging van een product dat via zijn opzet erkent dat roken minder met nicotine te maken heeft dan met de sensatie van roken…
“Nicotine patches, gums and lozenges are a $300-million-a-year solution that is not working,” said Shaahin Sean Cheyene, President and founder of Air-2. “They don’t offer the oral satisfaction of cigarettes and they contain the substance that addicted the tobacco smoker in the first place: nicotine.”
Air-2 Launches NicoHale; First 100% All-Natural Vaporizer-Based Support System for People Who Have Decided to Quit Smoking
VENICE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–June 16, 2003–Advanced Inhalation Revolutions, Inc.(TM) (Air-2(TM)) today introduces NICOHALE(TM), the first vaporizer-based system that utilizes organic herbs and essential oils to support the efforts of people who have decided to quit smoking tobacco.
“Nicotine patches, gums and lozenges are a $300-million-a-year solution that is not working,” said Shaahin Sean Cheyene, President and founder of Air-2. “They don’t offer the oral satisfaction of cigarettes and they contain the substance that addicted the tobacco smoker in the first place: nicotine.”
The NicoHale system is comprised of Air-2’s NicoHale vaporizer with its patented Digital Air(TM) vaporization technology, a two-step proprietary blend of herbs and oils, plus a behavior modification CD and book written by Cheyene. An optional four-step dietary supplement program adds additional support.
NicoHale users use Step A herbs and oil six times a day for five minutes each session for six weeks. At that point they switch to Step B herbs and oils for six additional weeks. People who smoke fewer than three cigarettes a day would begin with Step B herbs and oil. The ingestion of a NicoHale dietary supplement tablet is recommended every three-to-four hours.
Vaporization occurs at a much lower temperature than combustion (smoking), activating the essential elements of a plant or herb at 250 degrees F without releasing the harmful byproducts caused by burning. With NicoHale, the herb and oil flavor are inhaled during vaporization with no release of carcinogens.
The NicoHale system, which includes the vaporizer, a soft case, a one-week supply of Step A herb disks, a vial of essential oil, and the “Complete Genius’ Guide to Quitting Smoking” audio CD and book are available at www.nicohale.com. It retails for $199.99. One-week supplies of Step A or Step B herb disks or Steps A through D of the herbal dietary supplement tablets retail for $29.99 each. For further information about Digital Air vaporization, NicoHale or Air-2, contact the company at 1041 Pleasant View, Venice CA 90291 USA 310/581-1312.
Sold as a flavor delivery device and aromatherapy support system, the company makes no medical claims about NicoHale. Therefore, it is not FDA-classified as a medical device.
