Vaping vs smoking is an internal debate many smokers have. But there are other considerations beyond just vaping vs smoking, as smoking alternatives are not limited to vapes.
Among these alternatives to smoking, heated tobacco systems such as IQOS gives you a similar ritual to conventional smoking. Read on to find out more about heated tobacco.
Introducing Heated tobacco
Heated tobacco systems are an alternative to smoking that heat tobacco to a controlled temperature rather than burning it. IQOS is a complete heated tobacco system available in the Philippines. By using real tobacco, instead of an e-liquid, IQOS provides real tobacco taste and satisfaction.
Why choose IQOS ?
IQOS is an alternative to smoking that doesn't use a tobacco substitute. Unlike vapes which use e-liquid, IQOS heats real tobacco to achieve cigarette-like satisfaction. There are also studies saying that IQOS is forms less HPHCs or Harmful or Potentially Harmful constituents compared to cigarettes.
Here are other reasons why you should consider choosing IQOS:
1. No burning
IQOS doesn't burn tobacco but heats it to a controlled temperature. Burning cigarettes reach temperatures of over 800° C at the tip, which releases far greater quantities of harmful chemicals in smoke.
2. No need for a lighter
IQOS doesn't require a lighter to use. Instead, advanced HeatControlTM technology in the heating blade of the device heats the tobacco from the inside out. So, there's no risk of cigarette burns on clothing or furniture as there is no lit end to be wary of. Unlike cigarettes, there is no associated fire-risk when using IQOS.
3. No lingering smell
Unlike cigarette smoke which lingers on hair, clothes, breath, and soft furnishings, IQOS vapor does not leave a lingering scent once you've finished using it.
4. Similar ritual
The real tobacco taste and similar satisfaction to cigarettes make IQOS very close in experience to smoking a cigarette. The familiarity of unwrapping a HEETS pack of 20 tobacco sticks, lifting the filter tip to your mouth, and inhaling the authentic tobacco flavors can make the difference in helping those who would otherwise continue to smoke in switching to a better alternative.
5. Authentic tobacco flavor
Unlike e-cigarettes, IQOS uses real tobacco. The authentic flavor makes it a more satisfying alternative to smoking for many.
6. Availability
They are widely available to buy in IQOS boutiques and pop-up stores all over the country, as well as via our online shop. IQOS devices, accessories, and HEETS sticks are also available in select stores where vapes and e-cigarettes are sold.
The true flavor of tobacco
Most smokers are used to the taste of tobacco smoke that is produced when a cigarette is burned. With innovative IQOS technology, smokers now have a chance to have the authentic experience of real tobacco leaf - without any hint of smoke or ash.
