Important notice: This does not necessarily equate to a 95% reduction in risk. IQOS is not risk-free. *"95% less" represents the average reduction in the levels of a range of harmful chemicals from IQOS (9 so-called "priority toxicants" identified by the WHO) compared to the smoke of a reference cigarette (3R4F). Based on Health Canada's Intense Smoking Regime without nicotine.

Unlike cigarettes, IQOS has no lit end and less negative impact on indoor air quality.*
