IQOS

IQOS is a device that heats tobacco rather than burning it, producing a vapor instead of smoke. It uses a heating element to warm specially designed tobacco sticks called HEETS or Heatsticks. This process releases nicotine and flavor but generates fewer harmful chemicals compared to traditional cigarette smoke. IQOS is marketed as a potentially less harmful alternative for adult smokers seeking a different way to consume nicotine. However, it still involves tobacco and nicotine consumption, which carry health risks, and its safety compared to cigarettes is still under review.
