IQOS: An Overview and its Operational Process
What is IQOS?
IQOS, short for "I Leave Normal Smoking" is a special device created by Philip Morris International. It's not like regular cigarettes. Instead of burning tobacco, IQOS uses something called heat-not-burn technology. This means it doesn't make smoke when you use it.
How does IQOS work?
IQOS works differently from normal cigarettes. With IQOS, like the IQOS 3 Duo and IQOS 3 Multi, it doesn't burn the tobacco. Instead, it gently heats it to about 350 degrees Celsius. This heat makes a vapor with nicotine but doesn't create smoke. This way, people can enjoy the taste of tobacco without many of the destructive things found in smoke.
How is Iqos different from e-cigarettes?
Both IQOS and e-cigarettes are alternatives to traditional smoking, primarily because they aim to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals produced by burning tobacco. However, the long-term health effects and safety of these products are still unknown and they are not without risks. Users need to make informed choices and consider their individual preferences and health goals when deciding which product to use.
