What's the difference between e-cigarettes and IQOS? And what is the difference between cigarettes and IQOS?
IQOS is a device with an electronic tobacco heating system and is not the same as an e-cigarette. Unlike e-cigarettes, IQOS heats a tobacco stick to a temperature below that required to produce combustion. E-cigarettes, on the other hand, use electronics to generate an aerosol from a liquid solution that may contain nicotine but not tobacco.
Meanwhile, the main difference between cigarettes and IQOS is the way tobacco is used. With a cigarette, the tobacco is lit and burned. With IQOS, real tobacco is simply heated by the heating blade.
Cigarettes produce ash and cigarette smoke as a result of the combustion process. IQOS, on the other hand, is different: Tobacco heaters release the original tobacco flavors and nicotine through constant heating with HeatControl™ technology, but without flames, ashes, or the smell of cigarette smoke.
