NASHVILLE, TN -- 11/03/09 --
Smokefree Innotec, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SFIO)
today published feedback from a Product Focus Group that distributor Bryant
West in New Zealand recently facilitated to gather consumer response to
Smokefree Innotec's "totally smoke-free cigarette."
The 2.5-hour focus group test of the "REAL Smokefree High-Tec Cigarette"
took place the 22nd of October 2009 at Bryant West's Head Office in
Auckland, New Zealand. Participants were divided into 4 groups, on average
including 3 - 4 heavy smokers and 4 - 5 moderate smokers from the wider
Auckland area and selected from a broad and diverse social demographic.
In particular, Bryant West was interested in the group's product
absorption, the effect of the product on the end user, the ease of product
usage, the proposed costs of the product as well as the end users perceived
benefits and concerns of "REAL -- the 1st Smokefree High-Tec Cigarette."
In general, the participants in those focus groups agreed that REAL is a
viable solution and smoking alternative. The moderate smokers in the focus
groups reported that they believe that the product will greatly aid in
changing their smoking habits. 85% of the participants believed that the
effects of REAL where comparable to normal cigarette smoking and 70%
reported that they would actively use the product if available as a
consumer item. Interestingly, all participants, from heavy smokers to low
usage smokers all freely commented on the positive after-taste of Smokefree
Innotec's "totally smoke-free cigarette."
Brendan Jackson, CEO of Bryant West, commented: "The Product Focus Group
testing indicates that REAL is a positive commercial product with a viable
consumer market and we are looking forward to launch the product in our
territory."
