Nicotine Free Heated Cigarette Sticks

Quitting smoking is no easy feat. Many who try it tend to get lured back into that nasty habit within days or weeks of giving it up. While going “cold turkey” has proven to be effective for some people, having a replacement for cigarettes, at least in the initial stages of the quitting process, greatly helps with overcoming the urge to light up. However, most such replacements, whether it be chewing gum, vape pens, or heated tobacco, still contain nicotine, which is the main culprit behind cigarette addiction. 

This is where NEAFS comes in. Our nicotine-free heated cigarette sticks allow you to continue puffing away, all the while weaning yourself off this addictive substance with each passing day. 

Is Nicotine Harmful? 

This highly addictive substance has been identified as the main ingredient in cigarettes as early as the 19th century. However, its addictive properties were not discovered until 1962, when a report by the Royal College of Physicians outlined the correlation between nicotine and cigarette addiction. 

It was a major breakthrough, as it changed humanity’s perception of the smoking habit in general. Pre-1962, it was thought that people became dependent on tobacco smoking due to psychological and social factors. After the release of the Royal College’s “Smoking and Health,” it became clear that smoking causes a rapid and extremely strong physical addiction due to the effect that nicotine has on the human body and mind. 

Furthermore, it has been established that nicotine is not responsible for causing cancers associated with cigarette smoking. These most harmful side effects of smoking are now known to be caused by chemicals such as tar, arsenic, or benzene, which have all been found in conventional cigarettes. 

These discoveries made it easier for people wishing to quit smoking to devise a strategy that would allow them to continue consuming nicotine without causing further damage to their lungs with cigarettes. But is nicotine completely harmless?

The truth is that most addictive substances are far more harmful than nicotine. Studies carried out on human subjects have shown that there is a strong correlation between nicotine use and cognitive enhancements, such as better fine motor skills, stronger episodic memory, improved attention span and working memory, and even slower progression of Alzheimer’s disease in its early stages. 

Harmful Effects of Nicotine 

All of these cognition boosters make nicotine sound like a pretty great chemical to use on a daily basis, but it’s worth remembering that cognitive skills are not everything, and the human body is composed of a variety of different systems, not all of which interact with nicotine as great as our brains do. Here are some of the main health risks associated with nicotine, regardless of the form it is being ingested in: 

• Increased anxiety and stress (due to the nicotine-induced state of alertness),
• Nausea, 
• Heightened blood pressure, 
• Increased heart rate, 
• Diarrhea, 
• Stunted appetite. 

Many of these side effects can become dangerous if left unattended for years on end. A lifelong nicotine addiction can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and food disorders, which, if not managed properly, lead to permanent health issues or even death. With that said, however, nicotine and its effects on our bodies are much less researched than cigarette smoking.The effects outlined above are quite obvious and easily measurable. In time, we might discover that there is more to this substance than meets the eye. 

Tobacco-Free Alternative

As opposed to most heated smoking brands out there, our products do not contain any tobacco whatsoever. Instead, we use premium-quality tea leaves in our cigarette sticks. This means a further reduction in the harm caused by smoking, as even heated tobacco products contain much more dangerous chemicals than the NEAFS sticks, simply because they are made with tobacco leaves. 

Our tea leaves are sourced from clean and safe companies that obey all of the global fair trade and environmental standards. The leaves are processed especially for the purpose of inserting them into heatable sticks: they are properly dried, cut, and preserved so that our customers can enjoy the smoothest possible experience without an unpleasant smell or aftertaste. 

Our offer includes cigarette sticks with a 1.5% nicotine content, as well as ones that are completely free of nicotine. The former option is great for people who are not quite ready to give up the substance completely but want to switch to a safer, healthier option of consuming it without resorting to alternatives, not allowing them to retain the pleasant action of puffing away on a “cigarette.” The latter, on the other hand, is a good choice for social smokers who don’t care about the nicotine content and would like to be able to step out for a smoke with their friends or co-workers. 

NEAFS Sticks: Usage, Device, and Costs 

Visually, the tobacco-free NEAFS sticks are resemblant to some of the other popular heated sticks available on the market. These short cigarette alternatives are tightly packed with tea leaves, available in a variety of different flavors: 

• Original (tobacco flavor), 
• Menthol, 
• Blueberry,
• Strawberry, 
• Coffee, 
• Mojito. 

This broad choice of flavor varieties is what sets NEAFS apart from other heated smoking alternative brands, which due to their tobacco content, can only be sold with a limited number of flavors. 

In order to be able to enjoy NEAFS sticks, you’ll need a heating device, such as the NEAFS TEO. It will provide you with the best smoking experience by far, as the TEO device was built from the ground up with our sticks in mind. 

With that said, nothing is stopping you from inserting the NEAFS cigarette sticks into third-party devices, if you are unable or unwilling to buy the TEO. They are compatible with all popular heating devices, and you won’t run into any issues when smoking. 

The compatibility works both ways, meaning that you can use the NEAFS TEO device with most of the other popular cigarette sticks. It’s a neat feature that allows you to continue puffing away if you run out of NEAFS sticks – for example when you’re on vacation abroad in a country where they’re not available for purchase. 

The Price of NEAFS Heated Cigarette Sticks

Both the nicotine-free sticks and those with a 1.5% nicotine content cost £3.99 per pack. Alternatively, you can buy an entire carton of NEAFS packs for £39.99. Each carton contains 10 packs of 20 sticks. The TEO device by itself costs £29.99 and comes in three color varieties: green, blue, and rose. If you’re a first-time NEAFS user, we highly recommend going for the bundle package, which gives you the best bang for your buck. For only £29.99, you’ll receive the TEO device, as well as two packs of NEAFS cigarette sticks with flavors of your choice. 

For comparison, most packets (20 sticks per packet) sold by other popular heated tobacco brands usually cost around £5, with the device prices oscillating between £30 and £40. With NEAFS, not only will you be getting a tobacco-free smoking experience, but you’ll also save around one pound per packet, which amounts to quite a pretty sum after months of usage! 

The Bottom Line 

Nicotine is an extremely addictive substance. While it is not so harmful when it’s not consumed in the form of conventional cigarettes, it can still make you heavily dependent on its effects, as well as increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases later on in life, not to mention the elevated anxiety and stress levels. 

If you struggle to give up smoking due to nicotine addiction, switching to NEAFS sticks is the best thing you can do to wean yourself off this substance. At just 1.5%, the nicotine content in our sticks is already much lower than in the case of other popular heated tobacco products. 

It also serves as a good middle ground that will prepare you for cutting nicotine out of your life altogether. Once you’re ready to take that next step, you’ll be able to keep the pleasurable, satisfying ritual of having a smoke every now and then with the aid of our nicotine-free cigarette sticks!
