Alternative products that eliminate combustion are increasingly appearing as an alternative to traditional cigarettes. As part of technological and scientific innovations for a smoke-free future, millions of smokers around the world are turning to these products today.
This ongoing transformation did not come out of nowhere. Rather, it is the result of what has been proven by the results of the numerous independent and rigorous studies, research and evaluations conducted on these products, which covered many fields, including materials science, consumer electronics, clinical sciences , toxicology, aerosol chemistry and others.
The body of evidence drawn from studies, research and evaluations shows that switching to alternative products, including those that rely on heating, reduces exposure to harmful or potentially harmful chemicals by up to 95 % compared to what is the case with traditional cigarettes. These devices heat the tobacco to a maximum temperature of 350°C, eliminating the 800°C combustion process of conventional cigarettes. Needless to say, the smoke resulting from the burning process of cigarettes is the main cause of smoking-related diseases, as it contains dozens of toxic chemicals, most of which are generated when tobacco is burned in a cigarette.
Here, consideration should be given in legislative frameworks to the difference between traditional products and alternative devices that exclude the combustion process, and instead rely on the vaporization mechanism. From there, two systems coexist: one does not generate smoke, but an aerosol produced by heating a liquid containing nicotine, the other is a heating process also producing an aerosol which contains nicotine, but at a much lower rate than conventional cigarettes.
Generally speaking, electronic alternatives are widely seen today as a solution for adult smokers to quit using traditional cigarettes. Contrary to popular belief, smoking-related diseases are mainly caused by the combustion process and not by nicotine itself, which can nevertheless be addictive.
Despite all this, the best option for smokers remains to absolutely quit smoking tobacco in all its forms, but faced with the dilemma of wanting to quit smoking and the impossibility of doing so by traditional methods, possible solutions remain. represented by providing innovative and scientifically proven alternative devices to adult smokers who want to quit or those who cannot.
