HEETS

“IQOS is a brand with vision: to replace every cigarette for all adult smokers who would otherwise continue to smoke.” With the increased awareness of the effects of cigarettes, smokeless tobacco products have been on the rise, as well as alternative ways to consume tobacco.

IQOS came to the forefront of the smoking market as an alternative to traditional tobacco smoking methods. It is neither  vape or an e-cigarette.  The company created an electronic smoking device that heats your cigarette, rather than burning it. This means, no smoke and no ash. What’s more is the device gives the user the taste they expect. There is a reduction of harmful chemicals when smoking, and tar. This makes a huge difference, but because it still delivers nicotine to your system, it is important to note that these devices are not risk-free.

Because this is an alternative product, it still has to go through research. Evidence available shows that, while IQOS use is not risk-free, switching completely to IQOS presents less risk to your health than continuing to smoke cigarettes.

The devices work in conjunction with HEETS tobacco products. These are tobacco sticks, and are a modern twist on the cigarette. This is because of how the tobacco is treated. Tobacco is heated in the IQOS device and not burned. This gives a very different taste experience. “Smokers who have switched to IQOS say that there is less unpleasant feeling and aftertaste left in their mouth compared to after finishing smoking a cigarette.*”
