Product Description

The Crafe Away Smokeless Cigarette offers a revolutionary approach to quitting smoking by providing a tar-free and nicotine-free alternative.³ Designed as a cessation aid, it allows individuals to simulate the act of smoking, satisfying the behavioral and oral fixation aspects of nicotine addiction without inhaling harmful substances. This single-piece device is a discreet and convenient tool for those in Kenya committed to their smoke-free journey. It provides a familiar sensation and taste, making the transition away from traditional cigarettes potentially smoother.

Composition

The Crafe Away Smokeless Cigarette is designed to mimic the taste and feel of a traditional cigarette without containing harmful tobacco, tar, or nicotine. Its composition typically involves:

• Filter/Cartridge: This section is designed to deliver the “tobacco taste” without combustion. The exact nature of the flavoring agents is proprietary, but they are food-grade and aim to replicate the sensory experience of smoking.
• Airflow System: Allows for inhalation similar to a regular cigarette, providing the familiar draw resistance.
• No Tobacco: Crucially, it contains no actual tobacco leaf.
• No Nicotine: It is completely nicotine-free, eliminating the addictive chemical.
• No Tar: Since it is not lit, there is no combustion, and therefore no production of tar or other combustion byproducts.⁴

The “tobacco taste” is achieved through carefully selected flavorings rather than actual tobacco.

• Social and Environmental Factors: Peer pressure, cultural norms, family influence, and marketing can initiate and maintain smoking.
• Stress Relief/Coping Mechanism: Many smokers use cigarettes to cope with stress, anxiety, or boredom.⁷
• Weight Control: Some individuals smoke believing it helps control appetite or weight.

Smoking has devastating health consequences, leading to a wide array of diseases:

• Respiratory Diseases: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma.
