Nashville Company Manufactures Chinese Product in Backyard  

McDonald Webb, Inc. (www.mcdonaldwebb.com) today introduced The Steampunk Sparkplug for Smokers, the first domestically produced, mass marketed e-cigarette.

E-cigarettes were invented in China about four years ago. They work by heating a glycol substance with nicotine and tobacco flavoring added. While a popular novelty item, e-cigarettes contain many consumable parts that fail and must be replaced often. They also use a battery that only lasts several minutes with constant use.

Due to quality and reliability issues, e-cigarettes, while viewed by most as a good idea, have largely been disappointing and are considered a market failure.

About a year ago, McDonald Webb founders Jon Webb and James McDonald designed, manufactured and began testing an e-cigarette product designed to be as reliable as a normal cigarette.

Since the FDA was exposed on the faulty testing procedures during their preliminary test on the e cigarette, and using personnel on the advisory board that have clear conflicts of interest concerning the e cigarette industry, the general pubic is already showing signs of looking for other means to get the e cigarette and claiming that they will not use tobacco or what they refer to as "worthless" smoking cessation products by the same pharmaceutical companies that are funding the special interest fight against them.
