Another Thank You
For several weeks I have been working with those who love The Safe Cig from a variety of media sources. I have been focusing on Facebook and working with our customers and fan base to find out why they love their e-cig. But I certainly don’t want to show respect of persons, and I welcome any and all comments regarding our products to be posted through this blog. I want to open our products to discussion and help others realize the great potential that The Safe Cig can offer. Testimonies from our customers speak to the truth and freedom that The Safe Cig can change lives. So don’t take it from me, don’t take it from an ad or even from an e-cig review site…take it from people just like you…

Chinese Tobacco Targets Women and Children
With all the glitz glamour, bright colors and beautiful pictures you can find any cigarette vendor on any street corner in the Chinese market and pick up a pack. Despite attempts from many angles and by Chinese government to regulate sales of products– such as cigarettes to minors– use is on the increase in those who are underage. With one out of every three cigarettes in the world being smoked by someone in China, residents of this region have held a monopoly on the product with a staggering 53% of all men smoking, but only 3% of Chinese women lighting up regularly. With the majority of the male market easily conquered, tobacco retailers are now turning their attention to women and children.

You may be familiar with the California crack down on local electronic cigarette suppliers–claiming that they were marketing the electronic nicotine vaporizing devices to youth and minors. Soterra, one of the largest electronic cigarette providers in the country settled the lawsuit without litigation. Attorney General Edmund G. Brown, Jr spearheaded the argument against the company, stating:
“Electronic cigarette companies have targeted minors with fruit-flavored products and misleading claims that their products are safe,” Brown said. “This settlement will stop Sottera from marketing these dangerous and addictive products to kids.”

Rated “T” for Tobacco
Anti smoking groups and youth advocacy groups are all over tobacco companies to pull fancy packaging and products that look like candy from store shelves in an attempt to keep youth away from these tempting products. Citations from multiple research studies are pointing their fingers at advertising exposure as a leading cause of smoking rates in youth–rates that have continued to stay the same despite drops in adult numbers over the last several years. Now a recent survey is putting the motion picture association under scrutiny for not placing more warnings on films due to tobacco use and content. Ranking right up there with nudity and offensive language–tobacco use in films is quickly becoming an issue that public health officials are pressing the film industry to warn moviegoers about.

New York Cigarette Tax Hike Sends Customers For The Border
Since the increase in cigarette taxes in New York State, many residents of the area are fleeing to bordering Indian reservations and other states to save money on cigarettes. This attempt to help ease budget issues for the state of New York is leaving government officials high and dry. What appeared to be a well thought out plan for a state with some of the highest cigarette prices in the country is now backfiring.
