Chew on this: Duo creates healthy alternative to smokeless tobacco

The ongoing search for an effective way to help people give up cigarettes and smokeless tobacco has been one of the great public health challenges of our time.

A pair of ambitious Clearwater entrepreneurs, after a few years of tinkering, now believe they have bit into a possible solution. Behind a company called TeaZa Energy, they plan to make big money from a product that not only helps tobacco users quit, but is good for their health and completely circumvents the gray area of e-cigarettes and vaping devices.
