Tobacco companies are working hard to introduce products that resemble smoking without triggering combustion-related diseases. The recent addition is HNB [heat-no-burn] tobacco products or heated tobacco products [HTPs]. IQOS is the best-known device brand sold in hundreds across the world. Since its inception, the IQOS has significantly contributed to a huge decline in tobacco cigarette sales.
In 2020, IQOS has earned modified risk authorization [MRTP] by FDA. You can buy IQOS products in reliable online store sticks.sale.
How do IQOS works?
The IQOS device uses battery power to heat tobacco wrapped in paper [resembles a cigarette]. The tobacco is treated with VG {vegetable glycerin} for creating visible vapor. IQOS device usage fills the gap between smoking and vaping.
The IQOS device has 3 parts –
- Pocket charger [power button, USB port, heater cleaning button]
- Device – [includes holder, power button, and charger connector]
- Heat sticks [mini cigs available in a pack of 20]
The sticks comprise tobacco, nicotine, VG, and flavorings. They are designed to offer a cigarette smoking experience but without burning tobacco.
The IQOS unit heats tobacco to a specific temperature vaporizing treated nicotine but does not combust. As VG is added more vapor is created, which would be impossible with only tobacco.
The IQOS device needs a 4-minute charge between every use. Insert the HeatStick and within 20 sec it lights and vibrates. Users can enjoy 14 drags that can take six minutes before repeating the process. The nicotine hit is much faster than Vaping devices. Unlike vaping devices, IQOS generates vapor only when inhaled. The flavor is nearly the same as tobacco cigarettes.
Clean the IQOS holder after using the entire pack of 20 HeatSticks for peak performance maintenance of ceramic heating elements.
Benefits of IQOS cigarettes
There is no smoke
IQOS does not impact the air quality in spaces or buildings. It generates fewer stenches and hardly leaves a lingering odor like tobacco cigarettes. IQOS releases aerosol or vapor that vanishes more quickly than cigarette smoke. IQOS heats in a few seconds as well as fades as soon as you are done.
Strictly tested
There are 11 clinical studies and 18 non-clinical trials that IQOS has undergone for the highest standards of scientific evaluations. The reports claim that switching to IQOS is less risky in comparison to consistent tobacco smoking.
Heating is better
The tobacco is heated rather than burned as in tobacco cigarettes. The burning of tobacco causes the release of harmful chemicals like carbon monoxide and other 6000 chemicals, out of which 100 are found to be fatal to public health.
IQOS makes use of HeatControl technology that does not burn tobacco. It heats the nicotine up to 350 degrees Celsius for enjoying the same nicotine flavor with less release of toxic chemicals in comparison to tobacco combustion. There is no ignition or smoke and IQOS claims to offer optimal taste with 95% less detrimental compounds in comparison to cigarettes.
There are vaping products designed to pull away smokers from cigarette smoking. E-cigs don’t release smoke and the vapes it emits don’t taste like nicotine. It does not mean that using HNB devices is better than vaping. It is just that both offer a different experience.
