Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/18/2013 -- Electronic cigarettes are currently not approved by the Federal Drug Administration yet House Bill 372 categorizes e-cigarettes with conventional cigarettes, cigars and smokeless tobacco for the purpose of taxation. Optima Cigs, however, believes that this Bill doesn’t make sense since the FDA hasn’t approved an e-cigarette as a tobacco product.

Optima Cigs is encouraging supports to write to their state elected official and ask that HB 372 be voted down. Electronic cigarettes are not a tobacco product like conventional tobacco products, and they shouldn’t be categorized as such. It is wrong that they are being categorized as tobacco products simply for the sake of imposing a punishing tax against those that are seeking a healthier alternative.

As an innovative, better alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes, Optima Cigs uses advanced technology to give smokers the same smoking experience one would receive with traditional tobacco cigarettes, except without the flame, ash, tar, carbon monoxide, and horrible stench. Optima Cigs are free of tobacco, which means no harmful carcinogens that are typically found in tobacco products. Since there is no smoke, there’s no offensive second-hand smoke, allowing a safer, cleaner environment for both you and those around.

Optima Cigs offers customers the flexibility to try the Basic Starter Kit on a 14-day free trial. The Basic Starter Kit comes fully equipped with all the components necessary to begin the journey into the e-cigarette world.

For those looking for an authentic smoking experience or looking for a better smoking choice, then Optima Cigs is the way to go.
