Ston provides you a healthy and mindful break, as an alternative to smoking and drinking. The device is named a breather, a reference to the unique mindful experience it provides. Although the structure is similar to an electronic cigarette, by adjusting the flow of air as well as other factors, you can experience something closer to a deep breath. This is a tool to change a harmful break from smoking cigarettes into a healthy one, mentally and physically.
