A New Method Of Consuming Tobacco?

mawnansmiff · Jun 20, 2018

I was just reading a BBC News article about vape shops where one vape shop entrepreneur bemoaning the decline in the industry was interviewed and it stated...
"He's also keeping an eye on the big tobacco companies, who are launching products that heat tobacco, rather than burn it, which they claim is less damaging to health."
What are these 'products' and how on earth do they work?
Regards,
Jay.

I doubt you'll get any replies to this one, Jay, as it is against forum rules -
Rule No. 7
7. Discussion of electronic cigarettes, or any other electronic nicotine delivery device is forbidden. Posts regarding marijuana or other drugs are not allowed. These items have NOTHING to do whatsoever with the true pipe smoking experience. If you want to talk about these items, you are in the wrong place. That goes for Hookah too. Hookahs are the wine coolers of the tobacco world, and they also have nothing to do with the true tobacco pipe smoking experience. Again, if you want to discuss them, please find another website to do so.

Thanks Steve, I appreciate what you're saying but I was of the impression that this new 'device' was actually using real tobacco as opposed to chemical infused liquids so was therefore not a vaping device.
But of course I could be mistaken.
Regards,
Jay.

Technically that's how a hookah works.. tobacco is heated to the point of vaporizing without actually burning.
Pretty old technology.

TL;DR: It's stupid. Just as stupid as the brand name (iQOS (I-Quit-Ordinary-Smoking)).

Its technology that stems from consuming a very different type of plant.

Right on chaps, I think I've got it now.

I was sure this was going to be about suppositories.

And was the original vaporizing, wasn't it?

I thought many started the pipe to quit butts

Since IQOS is an electronic nicotine delivery device, I have to close this one Jay. Sorry for that.
