get-to-know-3-alternative-smoke-free-products

Switching to smoke-free alternative products may be an option for adult smokers. There are at least three alternative smoke-free products, including the IQOS tobacco heating device, electronic cigarettes and nicotine pouches. It is important to understand, the smoke-free products mentioned are not risk-free and contain nicotine, which can cause dependence. However, switching to smoke-free products is a better option than continuing to smoke

Why Choose Smoke-Free Alternative Products?

The process of burning a cigarette produces thousands of substances and chemicals that are harmful to you and other people around you. Replacing the combustion process with heating will reduce the amount of substances and chemicals produced. IQOS tobacco heating devices, e-cigarettes (vapes), and nicotine pouches still carry the risk of nicotine content that causes dependence. However, IQOS devices have fewer risks than other tobacco alternatives because IQOS produces 95% less harmful chemicals than cigarettes.**

**95% lower represents a reduction in the average levels of various harmful chemicals (excluding nicotine) compared to reference cigarette smoke (3R4F). That doesn't mean 95% risk reduction. View Important Information on IQOS.com.

So, how do smoke-free alternative products work? What are the differences and how do you find smoke-free alternative products that are right for you?

Tobacco Heater

IQOS tobacco heating products do not go through a combustion process that produces tar. Tar is the residue from smoke after burning tobacco products. The IQOS device does not produce tar, because it does not burn tobacco, but heats it. If conventional cigarettes produce tar, then IQOS produces chemicals that pose fewer risks*.

Vape Device (e-cigarette or e-vape)

This smoke-free alternative product is quite often used by adult cigarette users. There are four types of vape devices on the market such as mod systems, vape pens, cigalikes, and pod devices. The small form of the vape device is considered practical so that it can be an alternative option for smoke-free products. However, vapes still produce vapor during the heating process because they use e-liquid which generally contains propylene glycol and/or vegetable glycerin.

Nicotine Pouch

Even more convenient than vape devices, nicotine pouches are an alternative to individually packaged smoke-free products. Nicotine pouches will not produce smoke, vapor and odor. This product will distribute nicotine through the gums, when you put it in your mouth. The practical side of this nicotine bag makes it easier for you to enjoy nicotine anywhere and anytime.

Why choose IQOS devices as a smoke-free alternative?

A number of cigarette users prefer alternative smoke-free products that provide the satisfaction of real tobacco like the experience provided by IQOS. However, the best decision for smokers is to stop using tobacco or not smoke at all. For adult smokers looking for a different kind of tobacco experience, IQOS is a better choice than continuing to smoke.

Dangerous substances and materials produced from a cigarette when burned will pose a health risk. The IQOS device is here to provide the taste of real tobacco without burning it, but heating it.
