Smoking is an addiction that can risk one’s health, which in turn can lead to death. As time advances, both smokers and non-smokers are beginning to understand the harm in this deadly habit because not only does it harm smokers, it can impact anyone who encounters the smoke second-hand. Since the public has become aware of the health risks induced by smoking, cessation tools such as nicotine replacement therapy are being invented to help terminate the desire to smoke. As technology improves, smoking devices like the electronic cigarette are invented and can be considered an effective cessation tool. Electronic cigarettes can deliver low doses of nicotine to ease withdrawal symptoms. Furthermore, as electronic cigarettes increase in

The profitable business of electronic cigarettes has raised over $3 Billion dollars annually, vastly spread across over 466 brands which have joined the ordeal. Above all, known as a “gateway drug”, electronic cigarettes have claimed the once-ordinary lives of people, specifically to those who have turned from tobacco cigarettes. What is more, scientists have determined that not enough research has been executed to automatically assume the healthiness of e-cigarettes. Despite this, many have claimed that e-cigarettes, are, and will be the new “healthy” drug, so to speak.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, there are trace amounts of toxic and carcinogenic ingredients found in several cartridge samples of e-cigarettes. The FDA tried to regulate them as drug delivery devices; however, a federal judge ruled in 2010 that it lacked such authority, so the FDA is currently moving to regulate them as tobacco products (Feldman, 2014).

They are handheld devices that have evolved dramatically since they were first introduced to the U.S. in 2006. They have a variety of models ranging from the traditional cigarettes, to different sizes, shapes, and features. The battery-powered device is not regulated by the FDA and does not use tobacco. Instead they deliver nicotine to the user through the conversion of various chemicals such as nicotine, propylene, glycol, glycerin, and flavoring chemicals in to vapor to be inhaled. The battery on the device heats up to produce the vapor that the user inhales.

Tobacco companies should invest more in doing research to do a breakthrough invention so they could produce products that are healthier as the anti-cigarettes campaign is showing definite results. With e-cigarettes that states themselves as healthier products, maybe in the future the demand will shift again to e-cigarettes. Only by discovering new things that satisfy the customer’s want and need will the company be successful.

It is no surprise that the industry has recently drawn the attention of a swarm of interested parties; competitors, supporters and opponents alike. NJOY, an electronic cigarette company, is one such company that has found it self in the midst of this attention and must now navigate its way through to survive. Currently, NJOY is facing a host of problems, which must be overcome to in order to maintain a successful position in the market. E-cigarettes are under close scrutiny by legislative and regulatory bodies in government; decisions made by these parties can have a tremendous impact on the future of the industry. In addition, competition from Big Tobacco poses another big treat. Finally, special interest groups such as Tobacco Free Kids and anti-smoking lobbyists are also pushing their agendas with policy makers in order to play a role crafting the future of the industry. These issues affect almost every aspect of NJOY’s business, thus to successfully compete in the e-cigarette market without selling out to Big Tobacco, NJOY needs to have an integrated market and nonmarket strategy.

Same battery type is used in the second generation device as the first generation but with a more lasting life span and capability. Here, their cartridges are detachable and can be bought independently of the whole device because they are not inbuilt like those of the first generation. The third generation also known as mods (gotten from the word modification(VITEEEEEEEEE) uses the same type of battery but with a capability that is three
