SHENZHEN, CHINA (ACN Newswire) -
Since the FDA authorized IQOS to be marketed as a modified-risk tobacco product, heat-not-burn (HNB) technology will inevitably be understood and accepted by more smokers. Unlike cigarettes, the HNB system heats but does not burn tobacco; it is an alternative technology. Smoking is an addictive habit which is hard to be changed. It may be a smart choice to use heat-not-burn products which can reduce most of the harmful substances in smoking.
First of all, let's talk about IQOS. It is a very nice design, but it's only for special cigarettes which we call "cartridges". A cartridge for IQOS is made of reconstituted tobacco sheet, glycerin and nicotine compounds. In fact, IQOS technology is between the electronic-cigarette and the heat-not-burn way. Most of the nicotine that people take in through IQOS is nicotine compounds. It takes a few minutes for nicotine compounds to decompose into free-state nicotine after being absorbed into the human blood. Then the free-state nicotine enters the brain and stimulates it release dopamine, which makes people happy. That's the ultimate goal of smoking. One problem with the technology is that it is less effective for heavy smokers. They need to smoke more IQOS cartridges for tobacco addiction while it's not a problem for light smokers. It takes a few weeks for consumers to get used to the taste of an IQOS cartridge. It has greatly reduced harmful substances, which may be the reason for its success in Japan.
IUOC, which means "I use ordinary cigarettes", is another device in the smoking area. It makes smoke from ordinary cigarettes through heat-not-burn technology. IUOC releases the same free-state nicotine as that produced by a lighted cigarette. It takes only seven seconds from drawing the smoke until dopamine is released to the brain.
A cigarette heated by IUOC will release twice as much nicotine as by lighting. It seems that this device is not very friendly for light smokers because of the heavy nicotine. In fact, this problem can be solved by reducing the number of cigarettes per day. On the other hand, IUOC will be more acceptable in heavy smokers. Obviously, it will reduce the cost of smoking for both light and heavy smokers. The smoke from IUOC tastes a little (20% as most consumers said) different from that of lighted cigarettes, because the device reduce most harmful substances of cigarettes. IUOC consumers will get used to the taste in a few days.
IQOS and IUOC have something in common. Once a consumer persist in smoking with either one for a few weeks and accept the taste, his body will have a strong rejection of taste of smoke from lighted cigarettes. In fact, it is difficult for the body to accept the poisonous substances in smoke of lighted cigarettes. It is interesting that consumers of IQOS and IUOC can easily accept each other's tastes.
Compare with IQOS and IUOC both reduce more than 90% of the harmful substances in smoke of lighted cigarettes. IQOS only heats special cartridges and IUOC can heats ordinary cigarettes.
Therefore, the cost of the latter is lower.
At present, the epidemic situation caused by novel coronavirus is still very serious. Scientists in France, Italy, Israel and China have found that smokers seem less likely to be infected than non-smokers. IUOC, which releases more free-state nicotine as that from lighted cigarettes but less poisonous substances than the latter, may be your good choice.
