Cigarti has some of the coolest looking electronic cigarettes on the market. They are flashy, cheek and full of the ultra modern fashion and they have a price tag to match the artwork. You can have the style, look, feel and all of the above, but what about the e cigarette itself?

I have always said that all e cigarettes are made in China and are man made. This company is no different. The kit is about average as most are since they all have the same basic design. The atomizer is rounded, the carts are about average as the flavors are. there is just nothing about the Cigarti that screams “I am worth the high price” other than the stylish design. They do have good customer service, and to me, that is what counts.

Their e cigarettes are just like everyone else other than the fancy designs. They are all man made and made in china. In my opinion, you could get the same for less by choosing the No 7, it is a lot cheaper and basically the same e cig, but for a lot less money, if you can do without the fancy designs. If you are a fashion buff, then it may be worth the extra cost. The Cigarti company has great customer service, so you can rest easy considering spending money there.

Many tobacco smokers have switched to the e cigarette instead of tobacco because they are seeing that it is a better alternative. Professional studies have shown that the risk from the e cigarette are supposedly much lower than the risk that comes with smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes. There is no combusted smoke in the e cigarette as there is with the traditional cigarette, and most health care professionals and the studies that they completed states that combusted materials are what is responsible for most of the harm from smoking. With the e cigarette, there is no smoke, but just a vapor that is made of things that are on the FDA GRAS list (generally recognized as safe) other than the nicotine that smokers desire.

Since the e cigarette does not use combustion, there is little risk of fire because there is no flame or ember to set something on fire. As soon as the smoker stops taking a drag on the e cigarette, the unit stops producing anything, so falling asleep with it is harmless. There is also no trash to be littered because the cartridges are refillable and thousands and thousands of trees could be saved each year in paper cost alone. This is the greenest alternative to smoking on the market as of yet.

Since you can lay your e-cigarette down almost anywhere you choose without any fear of flame, you might be tempted to lie it somewhere that your children, if you have any, could get a hold of it. This is not a good idea. If you have kids in the home, always put your device up where they do not have access to it. Remember that your e cigarette does contain nicotine solution that has never been meant for anyone under eighteen to use. Actually, even though you could use your electric cigarette in front of your children, it is probably not a good idea to even do that.

It is thought by many researchers that using an e cigarette is probably a much better choice than smoking tobacco, however, if you are a smart parent you had probably rather your children grow up and not smoke or use any other nicotine delivery device, even the electric cigarette. So, be a responsible parent and use your e-cigarette when your kids are not around so as not to entice them into using it or worse, taking up smoking tobacco when they are older. Electric cigarettes were never intended for use by minors and it is up to you to keep your e-cigarette away from your children.

What many e-cigarette users have feared from day one could be in the works:  Philip Morris, the biggest maker of tobacco cigarettes in the United States, has been discovered to be in negotiations with Ruyan Group, which manufactured the original e-cigarette starting in 2005.  A short news article on Quamnet.com , along with other directly related news on the subject states the seriousness of the matter:

“Ruyan Group said that an agreement between the Company and Philip Morris International Management S.A. could not be reached on matters relating to the co-operation between them on its “electronic cigarettes” by the end of the first and exclusive phase of negotiations.”

As the Food and Drug Administration has recently been given authority over the tobacco industry, the move by Philip Morris could be a carefully calculated move to gain controlling interest over the products inside the United States and abroad.  The motives of the company are unclear at this point, but speculations include everything from wanting to shut the industry down by acquiring the rights to it all the way to possibly launching its own e-cigarette product and taking it mainstream.

Ruyan Group’s stock trading was suspended on November 2nd pending an announcement on a price sensitive matter.  This could be related to a sudden 20% jump in the company’s stock price.

But, that isn’t the first time Ruyan Group’s stock has soared.  Back in June, the stock rose over 35% after the announcement that the Company was negotiating with what Quamnet called an “independent third party”.  Shortly afterward on July 6^th, that third party became known to be Philip Morris.

In related news, Ruyan Group also sold their office properties for HK$28.57 million to an undisclosed buyer on October 23^rd.

What this could mean for the e-cigarette industry both in the United States and internationally is uncertain, but what’s clear is this: Philip Morris wants in.
