Frequently Asked Questions about Heated Tobacco
What is heated tobacco, and how does it differ from traditional cigarettes?
Heated tobacco, also known as heat-not-burn (HNB) products, involves heating tobacco sticks to a lower temperature than traditional cigarettes. This process produces a vapor containing nicotine without burning the tobacco, resulting in fewer harmful chemicals and reduced odor. Unlike vaping, which uses e-liquids, heated tobacco devices use real tobacco for a more authentic experience.
Are heated tobacco products safer than smoking traditional cigarettes?
Heated tobacco products are considered a potentially less harmful alternative to traditional cigarettes because they don’t involve combustion, which produces many of the toxic chemicals found in cigarette smoke. While they may reduce exposure to harmful substances, they are not completely risk-free and still contain nicotine, which is addictive.
How do I use a heated tobacco device?
To use a heated tobacco device, insert a specially designed tobacco stick into the device. The device heats the tobacco to produce a nicotine-containing vapor without burning it. Once heated, you can take puffs like a regular cigarette. After use, remove and dispose of the used tobacco stick. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for charging, cleaning, and maintaining your device for the best performance.
