==What is nicotine and how does it affect the body?==
Nicotine is an alkaloid found in certain plants, predominantly tobacco, and in lower quantities tomato, potato, eggplant and green pepper. When absorbed in small amounts, whether from cigarettes, cigars or Njoy, nicotine can cause stimulation, a feeling of relaxation, calmness, and alertness. The effects of nicotine can last from minutes to hours, and nicotine is considered habit forming and addictive.
The carcinogenic properties of nicotine in a standalone form (i.e., separated from smoking or chewing tobacco) have not been evaluated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, however current available literature indicates that nicotine in standalone form does not promote the development of cancer in healthy tissue and has no mutagenic properties.
== How long does an Njoy cartridge last? ==
On an apples-to-apples basis, one Njoy cartridge will last the equivalent of about two packs of cigarettes. The average pack of cigarettes contains 20 cigarettes, and the average cigarette yields about 15 drags. So, one pack equals 300 drags, and two packs equal 600 drags. It is anticipated that one Njoy cartridge will yield about 600 drags.
== Where does the smoke go? ==
Njoy emits what appears to be smoke, but is actually a harmless vapor mist that evaporates into the air within seconds, not unlike the functioning of a humidifier. Njoy leaves no visual residue in the air, whereas traditional smoking can leave an unsightly, acrid cloud known to irritate eyes and bother people's senses.
== Can I smoke Njoy anywhere? ==
Technically yes. Since Njoy is non-flammable and contains no tobacco, it is not smoking and its use is not prohibited by law. Njoy customers have used the product in restaurants, on airplanes, at work and in other places where traditional smoking is banned.
Still, do not be surprised when people ask about your smoking Njoy. After all, to the casual observer, using Njoy creates the appearance of traditional smoking. Customers report that simply explaining to others how Njoy works usually creates acceptance for using the product anywhere.
== What is propylene glycol? ==
Propylene glycol is a commonly used organic compound that is recognized as generally safe by the Food and Drug Administration. It is used in food coloring, and flavoring, as an additive to keep food, medicines and cosmetics moist, and in machines that simulate smoke. In Njoy, propylene glycol functions to provide the vapor mist that looks like smoke and to suspend flavor.
== Are there any aspects about the product I should be aware of when using it? ==
Yes, just like with many over the counter products, the manufacturer considers its product safe, and wishes to make customers aware of scenarios in which the product should not be used. Njoy is for use by smoking adults, not for non smokers or by children, pregnant women, women breast feeding, or persons with or at risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or taking medicine for depression or asthma. Consult a physician if you experience nicotine misuse symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, weakness and rapid heartbeat. If you smoke tobacco products, you are encouraged to stop. Njoy is not a smoking cessation product and is not to be used as such.
