Heated Tobacco

Heated tobacco, also known as heat-not-burn tobacco, refers to a type of tobacco product where the tobacco is heated rather than burned, typically at a lower temperature than traditional cigarettes. This process produces an aerosol containing nicotine and other chemicals, which the user inhales, without generating the smoke, ash, or combustion byproducts associated with burning tobacco.

Key points:

• How it works: Devices like IQOS use a heating element to warm processed tobacco or tobacco-containing sticks, releasing a vapor or aerosol.
• Purpose: Designed as an alternative to smoking, aiming to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals produced by combustion, though not risk-free.
• Composition: Contains tobacco, unlike e-cigarettes, which use nicotine-containing liquids without tobacco.
