Business offers safe alternative to smoking

With locations in Branson and Branson West, Puff Smart is offering what they call a “safer, cleaner and cheaper choice to cigarettes” and much more.
The family owned and operated business specializes in electronic cigarettes, or “puffys” as they call them, and a wide variety juices for the devices. They also offer a complete flavor station so people can try a flavor before buying.
Electronic cigarettes, or puffys, are considered an alternative method of consuming nicotine, the addictive chemical found in cigarettes. Puff Smart also offers a large selection of flavored juices without nicotine. With puffys, there are no ashes, fire or smoke smell, according to Puff Smart General Manager Kim Oliver.
“It is not smoking, it is vaping,” Oliver said.
Manufacturers call electronic cigarettes, or puffys, a healthier alternative to tobacco cigarettes, and customers have claimed using the devices have helped reduce smoker’s cough, sharpened the senses of taste and smell and even improved their sleep, Oliver reported.
Owner Ginney Johnson said she has a very friendly, knowledgeable staff to help anyone who is looking to cut back on nicotine, quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, take vitamins easier or even improve their singing voice.
“It is cleaner, safer and there is no secondhand smoke,” Johnson said. “It is the same as a vaporizer.”

“We do have a lot of people who don’t smoke who do vape (use puffys),” Oliver said. “I do have a lot of people who do it for weight loss.”
Oliver said vaping has helped her lose weight.
“I feel better, I sleep better, I breathe better and I think things taste different,” she said.
Johnson said they even have customers who use puffys to consume vitamins and singers who recognize that vaping improves their voices.
Both Puff Smart locations offer large flavor bars, where people are invited to take their time and try flavors before they buy.
“We want to make sure it is satisfying to them, or they get discouraged,” Oliver said.
Puff Smart also offers a wide variety of puffys, to fit just about anyone’s style.
For about $25, people can walk out with a complete puffy and juice.
