HEETS are the new way of having tobacco. It is for those who are tired of their old regular cigarettes, it is a twist in the life of a smoker. These are basically heat sticks as called in some market places. This is a special device in which the tobacco unit is heated, called the IQOS. They are known to have tobacco material filled in them along with a layer of filters. There are mostly seven filters in each section. These HEETS are inserted in the IQOS holder. This holder heats the stick to around 350 degrees Celsius. The user has to draw just like on a regular cigarette to get the tobacco fumes and enjoy.
So What is IQOS Really?
IQOS is the system that is being used to heat tobacco. This tobacco comes wrapped in a special paper meant to deliver the nicotine to the user but not burn in the process. The HEET stick is heated inside this IQOS upto 350 degrees when the fumes of nicotine start to come out. The tobacco component along with the added flavor then comes out the mouthpiece for the user to enjoy. The process is different than the regular cigarette. As no burning is involved, but the fumes have more or less the same health effects. But a few people like to argue that the toxicity of the fumes from an IQOS is less toxic than those from a regular cigarette.
Can we say IQOS is Better Than The Smoking Version Of Cigarettes?
The health effects for the user are more or less the same. There is no proof of it being better, while a few people do feel the toxicity is less. The research says the nicotine is delivered to the lungs for sure. The levels may vary from device to device like HEETS sienna may have more fumes as it is the intense tobacco flavor, while the HEETS turquoise will have lesser fumes being mild menthol flavor. Also, it is not an alternative for people looking forward to quitting smoking. The tar content may be lower due to the use of numerous filters in the device.
