States Ban E-Cigarettes in Face of Growing Demand
MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 24 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Electronic cigarette makers face political battles across the U.S. as state leaders and anti-smoking groups act to ban e-cigarettes. New Jersey, New York, Oregon and New Hampshire are a few states that have banned or restricted sales of the product so far. Others are taking a closer look at the product, which is rapidly gaining popularity among smokers. However, Green Smoke hasn't seen a drop in demand and believes these actions are caused by fear and misunderstanding of a new type of cigarette that is safer than tobacco.
It's not alone in this belief. Medical researchers, doctors and an anti-smoking group have spoken up in defense of e-cigarettes - battery-powered devices that look and act like cigarettes. They've chided congressmen and even the FDA for trying to ban this safer cigarette alternative.
"Smoke free Pennsylvania strongly urges the FDA to consider the enormous public health disaster the agency would create by banning electronic cigarettes," said the group's Executive Director William Godshall. "It is absurd to even contemplate protecting the deadliest nicotine products (tobacco cigarettes) from market competition by these less hazardous nicotine products."
One point of contention for state leaders is sales to minors. However, Green Smoke doesn't condone selling to minors and advises distributors to check ID. The company has always marketed to existing smokers and is busy trying to keep up with sales to this vast, growing market. In fact, Green Smoke put out a call for more distributors to help with demand.
Sales will only continue to grow as former tobacco smokers recount stories of giving up two- and three-pack-a-day habits for the odorless smoke (mostly steam) of electronic cigarettes. New converts to e-cigarettes are often the most passionate sales people, talking friends and family members into giving up tobacco as well.
Despite moves to ban the electronic cigarette, new clients see the health benefits. It contains nicotine, but unlike traditional cigarettes, it doesn't have cancer-causing chemicals. It also offers a cleaner smoking experience with no butts, ash or odor, eliminating the concern over second-hand smoke.
About Green Smoke:
Based in Florida, Green Smoke was founded to provide an authentic smoking experience that is less harmful than traditional tobacco. The company offers electronic cigarettes in its patented two-piece design, starter kits and accessories. For more information, visit www.greensmoke.com.

Top Selling Car in Japan isn't a Car, it's a Hybrid
Toyota of Watertown looks to follow trend-setting Japanese with #1 ranking in Greater Boston.
BOSTON, Mass., Jan. 27 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Already well known for their trend setting abilities in technology, fashion, and design, Japanese consumers are now making headlines of the green persuasion, putting the Toyota Prius at the top of their lists. In 2009 the Toyota Prius was the top-selling car, period, in Japan - the first time ever a gas-electric hybrid has clinched the spot. For Sales Manager Randy Sassone of Toyota of Watertown, the largest Toyota Prius dealer in the Greater Boston area, the news of the Prius' success in Toyota's homeland of Japan comes as no surprise.
"It's the most fuel-efficient car in America, a fantastic value that both Japanese and American consumers can appreciate. When a customer leaves our dealership with a new or pre-owned Prius, I rest easy knowing they own a superior vehicle that will benefit both their pocketbook and the environment. And, as we all seek a greener future, I look forward to the Prius also becoming America's number one car."
Sassone has every reason to be optimistic-with the economy struggling and energy prices continually rising, the Prius has emerged as an ideal purchase for those seeking to limit their energy consumption and the toll it takes on their bank account. The new 2010 models get a combined 50 mpg from their Hybrid Synergy Drives, an increase of 4 mpg from the 2009 model.
Thankfully, this boost in efficiency isn't reflected on the price tag; the 2010 Prius starts at just $21,000, a cost which doesn't take into account all the money saved on gas. It looks like an even better deal after ABC News recently called the Prius one of the top 10 innovations of the decade, citing how, even with increased hybrid competition, it remains the best-selling car in its class.
"It's a remarkable vehicle, one which is leading the push to a brighter, cleaner America," Sassone says. "But the reason we're the number one Prius dealer is our commitment to customer service - with Toyota of Watertown you'll receive quality care no matter what model of Toyota you drive. We have the largest staff of certified Toyota technicians in the Greater Boston Area, and their dedication to your satisfaction ensures you'll be back here for your next purchase."

Tireman Auto Service Centers Fights Recession with Free Tire Repairs and Free 36 Month Road Hazard Warranty
Vehicle owners can take advantage of free services during tough economic times.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 22 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Tireman Auto Service Centers, located in Ohio and Michigan, has implemented two new "recession fighters" for tire customers. One new offering, "Free Tire Repairs," has the attached slogan "No matter where you bought your tires." Regardless of where a customer purchased their tires, Tireman will repair a customer's tire(s), "free of charge." The only stipulation is that it must be repairable according to industry standards.
The second new offering protects new tire buyers by providing them with free 36 month pro-rated road hazard warranty protection. Every passenger and light truck tire Tireman sells now includes this new comprehensive coverage, free of charge. Most tire stores charge for both services.
Prior to a company-wide roll-out, Tireman test marketed the free tire repair service at a few of its locations. "Customer response has been overwhelmingly positive," states Bob Huey, General Manager of their Monroe, Michigan tire center.
"Customers seem to appreciate getting a real value right now. They expect to pay, and it's a real joy to see their expression when they're told we're going to repair their tire, free of charge. Our local economy has taken a few hits over the last couple of years and it just feels good to be able to say - it's free today." The Monroe, Michigan tire center has been providing free tire repairs for several months.
According to Randy Jones, President of Tireman Auto Service Centers, they have always offered a "no surprises" approach for their customers. "We're committed to providing our customers the best tire buying experience possible," he said.
"We have been including mounting, balancing, rubber valve stems, lifetime tire rotations, lifetime alignment checks, and free NitroMax nitrogen inflation for years. We've expanded that commitment with the addition of our free tire repairs and 36 month pro-rated road hazard protection. Bottom line, we want to be your tire store," he stated.
Both new offerings were rolled-out company-wide on Wednesday, January 20th.
Established in 1948, Tireman Auto Service Centers is locally owned and provides complete automotive service and a wide choice of replacement tires. Tireman has 15 locations in Ohio and Michigan.
