ABOUT CIGARTI
Cigarti was founded in 2009 with a mission to provide smokers with an authentic smoking experience that addresses and corrects some of the
problems associated with traditional tobacco cigarettes. It is our goal to continue on this path and provide our customers with the latest, most high quality products that will enhance and make their lives easier and
more enjoyable.
Cigarti Electronic Cigarettes have the look and feel of classic cigarettes, yet can be used most places where traditional cigarettes cannot. Cigarti users inhale clean water vapor and nicotine, and exhale a vapor mist
that looks like real smoke, but isn’t. Cigarti provides a stylish and economical alternative to tobacco cigarettes—without the offensive
smoke, smell, dirty ashes, and social stigmas.

SMOKING FACT SHEET• For the first time since 1965, the percent of US adults that smoke tobacco rose
between 2007 and the first half of 2008. Currently, there are approximately 45.3 million tobacco smokers in the US, which means smokers make up 20% of the population.
• There are about 1.1 billion tobacco smokers in the world. If current trends continue, that number is expected to increase to 1.6 billion by 2025.
• The US ranks fifth among countries with the highest number of tobacco smokers. The top ten countries (China, India, Indonesia, Russia, US, Japan, Brazil, Bangladesh, Germany, and Turkey) represent two-thirds of the world’s smoking population.
• Worldwide, around 10 million cigarettes are purchased per minute; 15 billion cigarettes are sold each day; 5 trillion cigarettes are produced and used annually.
• More than 360 billion cigarettes were smoked in the US in 2007, creating an estimated total of 135,000,000 lbs of discarded cigarette butts. Butts make up 38% of litter worldwide, and are considered the leading litter problem in the US.
HEALTH IMPACT OF TOBACCO SMOKING• More than 400,000 people in the US die of tobacco-related causes each year
(1,095 deaths per day, 45 deaths per hour), accounting for one in every five deaths and representing the single largest cause of preventable deaths in the US.
• With more than 4,000 chemical compounds, 60 of which are known or suspected to cause cancer, tobacco smoking is thought to negatively affect every part of the human body.
• Tobacco kills more Americans than AIDS, drugs, homicides, fires, and auto accidents combined.
• Every year, fires started by cigarettes are responsible for more than $6 billion in US societal costs and direct property damage, about 2,500 injuries, and over 1,000 deaths. One in four forest fires are caused by tobacco cigarettes.
• It takes a person on average six to eight attempts to successfully quit smoking. Each year 45% will quit for one day, though the average success rate is less than 3%.
TOBACCO SMOKING & ECONOMICS• Annually, tobacco smoking costs the US more than $97 billion in lost productivity
(consumers taking “smoking breaks”), and more than $96 billion in health care expenses.
• Consumers spent $3 billion worldwide in 2008 on cessation products. That’s up from $1.4 billion in 2002. Never the less, smoking cessation products are known to be about 5 percent effective, and 80 percent of smoking cessation product sales are made to habitual nicotine users.
• The average pack of cigarettes in the United States is over $5 a pack. A five-pack of Cigarti Cartridges includes the equivalent of ten packs of cigarettes and costs less than three times the amount of what traditional tobacco cigarettes cost. Three packs of traditional cigarettes cost $15; spend less than that on Cigarti cartridges and that corresponds to ten packs of traditional cigarettes.
• If a person smoked a pack of cigarettes everyday for only one year, they would be spending over $1,825!
What Experts Say About Electronic Cigarettes
• “We have every reason to believe the hazard posed by electronic cigarettes would be much lower than 1% of that posed by (tobacco) cigarettes. The testing guidelines in the current tobacco act (circulating through Congress) would represent a ban on electronic cigarettes, (yet) if we get all tobacco smokers to switch from regular cigarettes (to electronic cigarettes), we would eventually reduce the US death toll from more than 400,000 a year to less than 4,000, maybe as low as 400.“—Joel Niztkin, MD, MPH, DPA, FACPM, Chair, Tobacco Control Task Force, American Association of Public Health Physicians
• “The vast majority of the harm caused by smoking is from the method of nicotine delivery rather than from the nicotine itself. There would be a parallel problem if people got caffeine from smoking tea leaves rather than making an infusion of these leaves in hot water. It is clear to far-sighted researchers that there are huge gains to be made from dealing with the delivery system.” –David Sweanor, BA, JD, Adjunct Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa
• "Nicotine is probably the second most used drug after caffeine.” Amazingly, no one thinks of caffeine as a harmful drug. Nor should they. "The possible dangers of nicotine are dwarfed by the dangers associated with tobacco. Pure nicotine has not been associated with the risk of cancer.“—The International Harm Reduction Association
