NJOY is a Smoke-Free Electronic Cigarette That Simulates the Look and Feel of Smoking Cigarettes and Cigars CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(Business Wire)-- NJOY (www.njoy.com) - a smoking alternative that gives smokers all the pleasures they seek, without all the health, social and financial problems - is now available in retail outlets across the United States. NJOY is the latest effort of TSC Group (http://www.tscgrp.com), a company well-known for introducing breakthrough products to consumers via the American retail environment. NJOY replicates traditional smoking with remarkable accuracy, but is a preferable alternative because it: * contains none of the tar, additives or carcinogens found in tobacco-based products * produces no second- or third-hand smoke * leaves no lingering odor * can be freely used in places where traditional smoking is often banned, such as restaurants and offices * over time, is less costly than traditional smoking when used comparably Consumer acceptance of NJOY has been excellent. In a survey of NJOY customers, 92 percent said they liked the product so much that they told others about it. NJOY is distributed in 50 countries and has accumulated more than 50,000 customers in less than two years. "If you can imagine a product that looks, feels and tastes like a cigarette or cigar, and gives smokers all the enjoyment and satisfaction of traditional smoking … without all of the health, social and economic problems, then you can imagine NJOY," said John Wiesehan Jr., TSC President and CEO. The introduction of NJOY to American retailers is receiving the same immediate embrace. NJOY is now available at Pilot Travel Centers, The Pantry and The Kangaroo convenience stores, Travel Centers of America, Petro travel and convenience stores, BJ`s Wholesale Club, and Bashas, as well as major online environments such as target.com and costco.com and a variety of specialty stores. "The popularity of this product and brand is growing very rapidly. We are in final negotiations with a number of leading retailers, and the public can expect us to add many more store locations this year. In fact, there`s no question that 2009 will be the coming out party for NJOY, and that by the end of the year NJOY will be as convenient to buy as Coke or Pepsi," concluded Wiesehan. The NJOY product line includes three device styles: NPRO which is similar in size and color to a traditional cigarette, NCIG which is a longer, more stylish device akin to those used in Hollywood in the mid-1900s, and NROBO which is a classic disposable cigar model. Cartridges come in multiple flavors including traditional, menthol, strawberry, vanilla and apple, and a variety of nicotine strengths (no nicotine, ultra light, light and regular). An estimated 20.9 percent (45.1 million) of U.S. adults smoke tobacco, and NJOY is considered a positive smoking alternative for these individuals who are above the legal age for smoking.
