Vaping and Heated Tobacco Products’ Smell vs Cigarettes

Vaping 30/06/2023

As a legal age adult (18+) smoker, you are aware of the lingering smell that cigarette smoke produces. It hangs around the house, in your hair, clothes and on furniture. For any smoker switching from continuing to smoke cigarettes to a smoke-free device, learning about other products’ smell - and whether it is the same as the smell produced by a cigarette – may be of interest.

Smoke-Free: Less Smell?

Cigarette smell is powerful and can taint your surroundings. It is a common problem that smokers are familiar with, and there are reasons why cigarettes produce an odor when lit. Through combustion - the act of burning - cigarettes leave a residue, and this can stick to everything it touches including clothes, and even hair and skin. The smell does not just hang around while you are smoking, either. The odor may linger for hours after a cigarette is extinguished impacting your home.

The unpleasant smell of cigarettes remains, and smokers who would otherwise continue to smoke should consider one of the many scientifically substantiated smoke-free options that are now available. Cigarettes produces smoke – IQOS doesn’t.

So the answer to the question is yes, scientifically substantiated smoke-free products such as IQOS do generate less smell than cigarettes.

Smoke-Free Devices Benefits: Smells 

If you’re a legal age adult (18+) smoker looking for a heated tobacco product - one that uses real tobacco, but are worried about cigarette smoke smell, you might like to know that IQOS heats the tobacco inside the tobacco stick at a controlled temperature instead of burning it like cigarettes do. So does heated tobacco smell?

IQOS produces less smell than cigarettes. IQOS leaves less lingering smell than cigarettes. IQOS generates no cigarette smoke smell and IQOS leaves less smell on furniture and fabric than cigarettes. As IQOS produces less smell than cigarettes, it is less likely to bother people around you.
