Award Winning Smoking Alternatives to Be Featured at ´Cigar Night´ at Twin Cities´ Nightspot

MINNEAPOLIS, May. 07 /PRNewswire/ --

MINNEAPOLIS, May 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruyan America, Inc., Minneapolis, announced today that it will be previewing its award-winning and ground-breaking smoking substitutes on Thursday, May 22, 2008, at Neisen's Sports Bar and Grill, 4851 West 123rd Street, Savage, Minn., from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. The preview will feature the Ruyan Vegas E-cigar, recently awarded the honor as Most Marketable New Product at the 2008 Tobacco Plus Expo held in Las Vegas on April 24th and 25th, 2008. Ruyan will also have its E-cigarette available that night; the Ruyan E-cigarette was given the 2008 Most Innovative Product award at the same Las Vegas Expo. Products will be available for sampling and for sale.

The Ruyan Vegas looks and feels like a premium cigar, five and one-half inches in length with a circumference of approximately 50 ring size. The Ruyan Vegas uses a microchip, airflow sensor, ultrasonic atomizer and nicotine-infused cartridges to produce a vapor that provides its user with the experience of smoking, without producing dangerous second hand smoke and without endangering the health of associates or bystanders. The Ruyan Vegas has approximately 1800 mouthfuls of vapor, nearly the equivalent vapor to the mouthfuls of smoke produced in a carton of conventional cigarettes, and is meant to be disposed after it ceases to produce vapor. Smokers who use it to replace all of their smoking activity report it lasts as long as a carton of cigarettes, while smokers who only use it in places where they cannot or would not smoke report it lasts anywhere from three to six weeks.

William Bartkowski, President of Ruyan America, Inc., stated, "Our products have the potential and the goal of revitalizing the hospitality industry, enabling smokers to enjoy nicotine in social settings without discomforting non-smokers or running afoul of smoking bans or restrictions. We are extremely excited to gauge the reaction of Neisen's patrons."

Dan Neisen, proprietor of Neisen's Sports Bar and Grill, commented, "Having seen and sampled these products, we believe that we can welcome smokers and non-smokers alike into an environment that will remain both satisfying and smoke free, ensuring everyone a great experience." Neisen noted that, among other activities, smoke-ring contests will be held using the harmless water vapor produced by the products.
