Big Tobacco To Join E-Cigarette Revolution

If the giants of a particular industry adopts a new and up-and-coming item, does that bring legitimacy to the product? In the case of EGO CE4, we’re about to find out. According to reports, companies that are immediately associated with Big Tobacco–Philip Morris USA (Marlboro) and Reynolds American (Camels)–are throwing their collective hat into the growing industry of electronic cigarettes, a move that is surprising simply because of how long it took these companies to offer these vapor-driven replacements for standard tobacco cigarettes.

When you consider the fact that e-cigarettes have officially crossed over to the mainstream, thanks in large part to the commercials created by Blu, one of the leading e-cigarette companies on the market. The one featuring actor Stephen Dorff is currently in rotation, depending on what channels you watch.

As these devices gain in popularity–look, even NBA players use them–it stands to reason the companies that profit the most from traditional cigarettes would enjoy a different, perhaps less controversial revenue stream. As indicated, the two giants of the tobacco industry are preparing to launch their own version of electronic cigarettes; the “MarkTen” for the makers of Marlboro and the “VUSE” from the makers of Camel. The VUSE ego t electronic cigarette will be introduced in Colorado on July, 2013, and the MarkTen will be introduced in the state of Indiana in August. If these limited introductions succeed, expect them to be released on a national, and perhaps international scale shortly thereafter.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said on Wednesday that existing e-cigarettes on the market were not good enough. However, manufacturers have time to raise their game and apply for a license, allowing them to sell regulated devices as over-the-counter products from 2016.

A growing number of established tobacco companies are investing in the ego-t battery market worldwide, including Lorillard, British American Tobacco, Imperial Tobacco, Reynolds American and Altria.

The primary components of electronic cigarette cartridges and vapor are propylene glycol, glycerine and nicotine. Smokers are harmed by the deadly tar and toxins in tobacco smoke, not the nicotine, said MHRA Chief Medical Officer Sally Davies in today’s statement.

Still, there has been little research into how safe electronic cigarette battery are, according to Cancer Research UK. Anecdotally, aspiration pneumonia and second-degree burns from a cigarette exploding in a consumer’s mouth have been reported, MHRA said.Researchers at the University of Athens said electronic cigarettes cause damage to the lungs, as shown in a study they presented in September at the European Respiratory Society annual meeting in Vienna.

Logic Sponsors Ablow's E-Cig Study

Electronic cigarette maker Logic Technology recently announced that Keith Ablow, M.D., will be conducting an expanded clinical study of Logic EGO CE4 in his practice to determine their effects on reducing or eliminating tobacco product usage. Previously, Dr. Ablow reported that three individuals had ceased smoking when given e-cigarettes as part of a smoking cessation regimen.

Sponsored by Logic, Dr. Ablow's study will monitor and track patients' experiences using e-cigarettes to determine the product category's effectiveness for transitioning smokers from traditional cigarettes to a tobacco-free, smokeless, battery-operated nicotine delivery device.

The study, to be conducted over a 12-week period, will offer patients who use traditional cigarettes the option to try ego t electronic cigarette. Dr. Ablow will provide participating patients with e-cigarettes and measure their use of this technology and tobacco products over the course of the 12 weeks.

Simulating the feeling and taste of a real cigarette, Logic provides a sensory experience that satisfies a smoker's addictive cravings for the nicotine, tobacco flavor, hand-to-mouth motion and vapor release, while avoiding 4,000 toxins that are in cigarettes, according to the company. Unlike other nicotine delivery devices, an e-cigarette can assuage the desire for a traditional cigarette and deliver a realistic smoking experience, the company added.fsfd3WD3x

"We are thrilled to work with distinguished psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow to conduct this study," said Eli Alelov, CEO of Logic Technology, Livingston, N.J. "Minimal statistical data exists about ego-t battery and their effectiveness in supporting a switch from traditional cigarettes, and we think it is imperative to educate the public on the benefits of this product. We think Dr. Ablow's findings will support the rapidly growing industry and prove what we have been saying for years, that Logic is a smarter alternative helping to convert American smokers to better choices."

"I reached out to Logic about this informal, expanded series of clinical case studies because I cannot understand why universities and the government are not aggressively exploring the use of electronic cigarettes to help smokers stop using tobacco," said Ablow. "I am a supporter of rechargeable electronic cigarette in aiding patients to make smarter choices with their smoking habits."

Logic will provide a findings update as the study moves forward.

Another Tobacco Brand Plans to Enter Electronic Cigarette Market

Observing the market and its customer’s choice inclining towards ego-t battery, Altria has taken this step. Marty Barrington, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Altria said “the awareness and trial of e cigarette has increased over the last year, a subject to which we have been devoting attention and product development resources.”

Adding to it he further said that the company has plans and products to market the electronic cigarette. It will certainly allow the company to compete in the emerging market that still has a tiny share compared to conventional tobacco market.dsDF34fcd

Mr. Barrington admitted that the customers using tobacco cigarette have shown interest in ego t electronic cigarette and this has made them decide to enter in the smokeless cigarette market. Presently the number is not huge but it is continuously developing.

The company has also planned to stick by the rules of FDA and wishes to reach in the list of best electronic cigarette brand. One thing has still not become clear that whether Altria is going to develop its own electronic cigarette or it will make an acquisition as it has already made in the smokeless tobacco industry by buying snuff maker UST Inc in the year 2009.

The second largest US cigarette maker Reynolds American Inc. has already entered in this business by starting limited distribution of its first electronic cigarette under the Vuse brand. Similarly, the nation’s third biggest tobacco company Lorillard Inc. has already entered in the e cig market in the month of April 2012. The brand claims to cover more than 40 per cent of the US market.

Tax writers chasing smokers, even fake ones

Like many other businessmen across the country, Jason Hagan of Greer thought the idea of starting a shop that would sell ego-t battery was a good idea.So he plowed his life savings into the Vapor Room Cafe and opened its doors last month.

Lawmakers in the House, though, want a piece of the action and are moving ahead with a bill that would levy a tax in addition to sales taxes on e-cigarettes for the first time."I have my life savings in this business. It's helped a bunch of my customers stop smoking cigarettes. The electronic cigarettes are my main business."

South Carolina is among a handful of states considering special taxes for ego t electronic cigarette, which use vapor instead of tobacco to deliver nicotine to users.For lawmakers who are supporting the legislation, the issue is more than just a tax. It also involves questions of safety, regulation, definition and how states should respond to a host of innovative alternatives to traditional cigarettes.xcTFR5DS

Tobacco manufacturers now market thin cigars that look like cigarettes except for their wrappers, some smokers buy pipe tobacco to make their own cigarettes and some individuals are making their own liquid base for electronic cigarettes, worrying some about what may be in the mixture.

"A lot of it is to just get a discussion and awareness out there," said Rep. Brian White, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and chief sponsor of the bill. "I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm just saying let's have a conversation about it."

Kevin Frija, CEO of Vapor Corp., one of the nation's leading ego batteries companies, told GreenvilleOnline.com that lawmakers are not looking at the big picture in trying to tax e-cigarettes.

"As far as we're concerned as a company and as an industry, I think it's a little premature to be looking at taxing until it's very clear there is a standard method of taxing. We almost feel like the government should subsidize the product because at the end of the day, the benefit of having people smoke less tobacco cigarettes over the long run will probably save the taxpayers, the states and the government."

E-cigarettes challenge interpretations of smoking bans

Taking a puff on an ego electronic cigarette isn't technically smoking, prompting some local businesses to allow customers to use the cigarettes indoors. Others still prohibit their usage, which can make it difficult for smokers and nonsmokers alike to navigate the hundreds of bars and restaurants in New Hanover County.

"They're allowing electronic cigarettes now in most of the bars I've been to," said Nathan Garrison, sales associate at Vape Hut, a Wilmington store that sells e-cigarettes on site and via its website. "Restaurants usually don't mind. I'll usually ask first, but businesses are generally becoming more tolerant."

Traditional cigarettes have been banned by law in bars and restaurants statewide since Jan. 2, 2010. But the legislation didn't specifically ban ego t electronic cigarette, which were at that time a relatively new and much less popular technology. That loophole allows businesses to make their own rules governing their usage, meaning policies vary greatly from place to place.

Sometimes, the differences are small and nuanced. For example, New Hanover County employees are permitted to smoke solely in designated outdoor smoking areas. That policy doesn't explicitly ban the usage of e-cigarettes indoors, but county workers aren't permitted to use them in the office.fds1EWS6

"The interpretation that I received from human resources is that our policy covers the intent of smoking, which would include the use of e-cigarettes," said Charles Smith, a spokesman for the county. "If HR is comfortable with that interpretation, I don't foresee a change."
