Hop-on (PINKSHEETS: HPNN) and USAcig, Inc., makers of the groundbreaking electronic/electric cigarettes, are asking U.S. smokers to "Join The 200K."
The mission is to help 200,000 Americans quit smoking this summer, through the "Join The 200K" campaign. With added inspiration from "Join the 200K," the two firms are continuing to create a Reality TV show around people and families who are fed up with smoking and seeking a solution. The campaign, which will run for four months (June 22 to October 22, 2010), will entice and educate men, women, young adults, and parents on the health and environmental advantages of quitting smoking, by using traditional stop smoking products and using smoking alternative products, such as the electronic/electric cigarette.
The Electric Cigarette™, often referred to as a safer alternative to smoking, looks like a conventional cigarette, feels like a conventional cigarette and even tastes like a conventional cigarette. But, it does not have the harmful side effects of smoking a regular cigarette. The battery-operated device provides measured doses of nicotine through a vaporized solution. It is available in different flavors, including menthol, vanilla, chocolate, grape and strawberry. As an environmentally friendly solution, The Electric Cigarette™ does not produce any dangerous second hand smoke or harmful toxins to the environment.
It's important to note, "The Electric Cigarette™" is not a smoking cessation device.
The goals are to better people's lives and offer an alternative that will give them a way to quit smoking. The goal is to change the reality that every 20 seconds, someone in the United States dies from a smoking related illness.
As part of this campaign, Hop-on and USAcig, Inc., have introduced their "Pink Lady" line for women and the "I Love You Dad" electric cigarette for all male smokers who have children or loved ones. Both products are available on their website. Retail price is $10.99. As an alternative to smoking and a special offer, free product samples are offered to campaign participants on the http://www.jointhe200.com website, as well.
