Understanding the Smoking Habit

Recognizing that smoking involves both familiar behaviors and nicotine raises an important question:

Could an alternative smoking platform preserve the familiar behaviors smokers value while eliminating nicotine and tobacco?

Around the world, a growing number of smokers are seeking plant-based alternatives that allow them to continue enjoying familiar smoking behaviors. Many perceive these tobacco-free and nicotine-free alternatives as providing a healthier and safer smoking experience.

Among botanical ingredients consumed worldwide, few possess tea's enduring popularity, extensive scientific study, and long-standing association with natural living and wellness. In addition, the naturally occurring caffeine in tea provides a mild energy boost that may help interrupt nicotine cravings. Collectively, these attributes provide tea-based smoking platforms with meaningful commercialization advantages that few, if any, alternatives can match.

These observations inspired COMSIS' founders to develop a tea-based foundation capable of supporting multiple smoking platforms that preserve the familiar behaviors smokers value, support smoking moderation and are free of nicotine and tobacco. 

Transforming tea into a commercially viable fill material for smoking required overcoming tea's natural production impediments. COMSIS' founders accomplished this by developing an essential manufacturing process and formulation—this proprietary foundation consistently delivers appropriate burn characteristics, smooth airflow, distinctive taste and aroma experiences, and enables the creation of multiple tea-based platforms.

COMSIS is a U.S.-based limited liability company organized to commercialize the  foundation by creating, producing, and scaling innovative tea-based smoking platforms.

COMSIS' first commercial application, NAKED Green Tea Cigarettes™, quickly established Proof of Concept by validating the foundation, consumer acceptance of the tea-based platform, and demonstrating repeat purchasing behavior.
