SFIO, Smokefree Innotec, Inc., SFIO.PK

SFIO is in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing hi-tech, nicotine and non-nicotine cigarette-like delivery devices which are completely smoke and vapor-free and tobacco-free.

Smoking affects how long you live

Research has shown that smoking reduces life expectancy by seven to eight years.

Of the 300 people who die every day in the UK as a result of smoking, many are comparatively young smokers.

The number of people under the age of 70 who die from smoking-related diseases exceeds the total figure for deaths caused by breast cancer, AIDS, traffic accidents and drug addiction.

SFIO's products are designed to protect the non-smoker from second hand smoke and all its effects while providing the smoker a way to enjoy a smoke-free cigarette anywhere, including places where smoking tobacco or similar substances is prohibited. Further, SFIO's products will allow the smoker to enjoy smoking either nicotine or flavored non-nicotine cigarettes while not having to worry about the offensive dangers and ill effects of regular cigarette smoking. However SFIO's products are not intended for any prevention or therapeutic treatment of any disease.

SFIO recently reported through its President and CEO that with some minor fine tuning, SFIO's shopping cart is now fully operational giving SFIO's customers the opportunity to purchase the first of our products being offered: Smokers Option, in both Menthol and Cinnamon. The web site itself is undergoing extensive redesign, to include complete product description located in easy to access click through portals. Beginning with Smokers Option presently available, additional products expected to be offered soon include 'smokeless REAL e-cigarettes' (pronounced ‘Re-Al') with an inventory of redesigned starter kits scheduled for delivery before the end of March. Marking a price reduction from $79 to under $18, the starter kits have been redesigned with our new technology to include the electronic device ('Zig') and an initial supply of 10 filters, a compact charging unit and power supply, all designed to fit inside a package the size of a cigarette box.
