UAE-based Medad Technology today unveiled the world’s first ultrasonic Shisha – NESTA, at the 2nd annual World Vape Show held at Dubai World Trade Centre addressing the health and environmental threats associated with shisha smoking.
Developed and produced locally, NESTA uses the patented ultrasound technology to aerosolize pharma-grade nicotine into a cool mist, ensuring that no dangerous chemicals or heavy metals are present in the aerosol, and removing the dangers posed by inhaling traditional shisha as well as e-shisha.Traditional shishas, when burning or heating tobacco at a high temperature can release up to 6000 chemicals, of which at least 100 are known to cause smoking-related diseases. They also pose a much greater risk to health than combustible cigarettes, with one hour of shisha smoking resulting in the inhalation of 100 to 200 times the amount of smoke inhaled from a single cigarette.
With NESTA, there is no heating or burning of tobacco, which means no harmful chemicals are produced. Furthermore, while the amount of carbon monoxide detected in one gram of hookah tobacco is around 143 mg, the level of carbon monoxide emitted by NESTA is zero.
Aside from the health and environmental benefits, Nesta adopts a patented algorithm that produces mist droplets, so fine and evenly distributed that the smoking experience is much smoother.
As NESTA is an IoT device with Bluetooth connectivity to a dedicated mobile application, it also enables the user to monitor their nicotine intake, giving them a holistic view of their usage and smoking behaviour.
