About TAAT® GLOBAL ALTERNATIVES INC.

A NICOTINE- & TOBACCO-FREE SMOKING EXPERIENCE

At TAAT, we don’t create new smokers. We give existing tobacco smokers the choice to leave nicotine behind while keeping the experiences they love.

 

OUR STORY

 

At TAAT™, we give tobacco smokers 21+ the choice to leave nicotine behind while keeping the experience they love. Made from our proprietary Beyond Tobacco™ blend, TAATs are American made and engineered to provide smokers with the same smoking experience they are familiar with: tobacco flavour, scent, and ritual with zero nicotine and zero tobacco. TAATs represent an attractive alternative to tobacco cigarettes and other smoking products. Under veteran leadership with a “Big Tobacco” pedigree, TAAT launched in Q4, 2020.

 

OUR PRODUCT

 

TAAT’s patent-pending refinement technique goes through a 14-step proprietary process. The result is a unique creation that smells, tastes, smokes, and feels like any other tobacco product.
