Does IQOS Smell Like Cigarettes?
Does IQOS smell like cigarettes?
When a cigarette is lit, the tobacco burns at temperatures of around 600°C. This burning process generates smoke and ash; when a smoker takes a puff, the temperature rises above 800°C at the burning tip. Cigarette smoke is a complex mixture of over 6000 chemical substances, around 100 of which have been to linked smoking-related diseases by public health authorities.
But, unlike cigarettes, IQOS taste and smell are quite different because it uses Heatcontrol ™ Technology : IQOS heats tobacco at around 350°C and generates a nicotine-containing aerosol instead with a tobacco vapor with on average 95% lower levels of harmful chemicals compared to the smoke of a standard reference cigarette*.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY EQUAL A 95% REDUCTION IN RISK. IQOS IS NOT RISK-FREE.
* ”95% less” represents the average reductions in levels of a range of harmful chemicals (excluding nicotine) compared to the smoke of a reference cigarette (3R4F). See Important Information on IQOS.com
