It completely eliminates passive smoking. Underpinned by scientific toxicological studies at Leuven University (Belgium) and produced in European ISO 9001-2000 norm certified laboratories.

This much safer alternative also reduces the nicotine content (yet still provides the smoker with the taste and aroma of cigarettes), contains no herbal ingredients, produces smoke that contains no toxic substances for the smokers and their environment. It is also much cheaper than smoking the customary unhealthy cigarettes and meets smoker's physical and psychological needs.

It is an alternative where traditional cigarette smoking is now banned.

People across the western hemisphere may be surprised to see a rust-colored Moon in the sky in a few days - an ominous omen to ancient people but a more predictable occurrence now. Early on 21 February (the evening of the 20 February for observers in North and South America) will be this year’s first and only total eclipse of the Moon.

Bonus: unlike the solar equivalent, the whole event is safe to watch and needs no special equipment.

In a total lunar eclipse, the Earth, Sun and Moon are almost exactly in line and the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The Moon is full, moves into the shadow of the Earth and dims dramatically but usually remains visible, lit by sunlight that passes through the Earth’s atmosphere.
