Smokio synchronizes with US trade body

Smokio, described as the world’s first connected electronic cigarette that synchronizes automatically with users’ smartphones, said yesterday that it had formed a partnership with the Asian American Trade Association Council (AATAC), an organization designed to build partnerships between convenience stores and manufacturers.

“We are very proud to partner with AATAC to be able to offer Smokio to such a large number of retail outlets across the US,” said Alexandre Prot, co-founder of Smokio, in a press note. “Convenience stores are one of the most important channels for our company, as these types of stores are where a majority of electronic cigarettes are sold.”

Smokio is said to have been developed so as to synchronize automatically with users’ smartphones with the aim of monitoring consumption and tracking the health and economic benefits a user is experiencing by transitioning from tobacco cigarettes to electronic cigarettes.
