Hop-on, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HPNN) (http://www.hop-on.com/) announced
today that, in conjunction with USAcig, Inc.
(http://www.usacig.com/), the Company will be focusing sales
efforts for The Electric Cigarette™ throughout the state of Kansas.
On July 1, 2010 Kansas became the 26th state to put a statewide
smoke-free law in place. The Kansas Indoor Clean Air Act took
effect just days ago and prohibits smoking in bars, restaurants and
other public places with some exemptions and pending legislation in
the city limits of Wichita. It also bars smoking within 10 feet of
an entrance, open window or air intake for a building. This
legislation resulted from the Clean Indoor Air - HB 2221 that
passed the Kansas House on Thursday, February 25 by a vote of
68-54.
Jay Pignatello, President of Hop-on, stated, "Kansas has a ratio
of 17.9% of adults smoke and 16.9% of high school students that
smoke. The Electric Cigarette™ offers a huge opportunity to help
change people's health and their lives throughout Kansas. The
device does not emit any second-hand smoke and can be used in
smoke-free areas and facilities. We plan to focus sales attention
and effort in Kansas as there is a strong potential to help
business owners and residents adjust to the new law."
Stacy Parkinson, First Lady of Kansas, heavily endorses
smoke-free Kansas due to the risk of second-hand smoke. The risks
of second-hand smoke are often understated; but are real. USAcig,
Inc. understands both the individual dangers and the harmful
effects of second-hand smoke and has created an inexpensive
disposable electric cigarette to provide its customers with a
solution. The Electric Cigarette™ Disposable is easy and safe to
use and does not involve combustion, therefore, there is no
second-hand smoke or harmful toxins emitted. The device is a
healthier alternative to tobacco cigarettes and comes in a variety
of eight flavors.
The disposable version of The Electric Cigarette™ can be
purchased at select retail locations, USAcig's website and approved
affiliate websites.
