The UAE has banned all electronic and smokeless cigarettes from being sold in the emirates. But that's not stopping Swiss company Olig AG from promoting their new smokeless cigarettes.
On the heels of an order that no e-cigarettes be sold by retailers in the UAE, Olig AG said it has come up with a smoke-free cigarette that does not contain carcinogens that may lead to lung cancer.
The company said it has come up with a conventional cigarette that produces heat, contains tobacco and nicotine but does not give off any smoke and doesn't require any external energy.
The company may introduce its new product around the globe.
In the UAE, meanwhile, health officials lauded the new ban on e-cigarettes and said that though they are smoke-free, the nicotine they contain is harmful.
