IQOS (short for "I Quit Ordinary Smoking") is a brand of heated tobacco products developed by Philip Morris International. Unlike traditional cigarettes, IQOS uses a device that heats specially designed tobacco sticks (called HEETS) instead of burning them. This process releases nicotine-containing vapor without producing smoke, making it a potentially less harmful alternative to smoking.
Usage:
IQOS is used by individuals who want to reduce the harmful effects of smoking or prefer a smoking experience with less odor and second-hand smoke. Here’s how it’s typically used:
Heating, Not Burning: Unlike cigarettes, which combust tobacco, IQOS uses a heating element to warm tobacco sticks (HEETS) to a controlled temperature, releasing a nicotine-rich vapor. This method avoids the harmful byproducts of combustion, such as tar and ash.
Device Operation: The IQOS device consists of a handheld holder and a charger. The HEET tobacco stick is inserted into the holder, which then heats the stick when activated. The user inhales the vapor through the device.
Tobacco Sticks (HEETS): HEETS are specially designed tobacco sticks used in IQOS devices. These sticks come in various flavors and nicotine strengths to cater to different preferences.
Charging and Maintenance: After use, the holder is removed and charged using a portable charger. Regular cleaning of the holder ensures optimal performance and prolongs the life of the device.
IQOS is marketed as a less harmful alternative to traditional smoking, as it produces fewer toxic chemicals. However, it still delivers nicotine and is not risk-free. It’s popular among smokers looking to quit or reduce their tobacco consumption but should only be used by individuals who are already smokers or are of legal smoking age. exclusively at Dubai Vape
