Can this N.C. State-developed cigarette case guilt you into quitting?August 4, 2015 Seven out of 10 smokers are trying to quit, according to numbers released by the Centers for Disease Control and, if you’re among them, a smart-connected cigarette case could be your success ticket. At least that’s the hope of Nicotrax’s inventors, a pair of recent N.C. State University graduates who developed the technology while they were students at the school’s Engineering Entrepreneurs Program. |
