Alternative tobacco products are considered an innovation that contributes to making a fundamental change that leads to the drawing of a smoke-free future, especially products that rely on heating tobacco, so it detects burning, thus reducing levels of harmful or potentially harmful chemicals. .
Science has played a pivotal role in creating smoke-free alternatives, and when looking closely at the smoking process, one will find that traditional cigarettes, when consumed, produce smoke that contains nicotine and a large amount of harmful chemicals, given their compounds and the combustion process adopted in them. Contrary to the misconception that nicotine has many damages, it is the chemical elements resulting from burning tobacco that bear the brunt of the harmful effects of smoking. Since these products are smoke-free, and rely on heating rather than burning, they thus emit steam instead of smoke, which contributes to maintaining the purity of indoor air, and thus avoids non-smokers the so-called passive smoking, in addition to eliminating the smell of cigarettes. Traditional.
To clarify the matter better; When igniting a cigarette from a conventional cigarette, it immediately starts burning at a temperature of 600 ° C or more by ignition, while in return, when the tobacco heating system is consumed, the electronic heating system in it works to heat to a certain temperature without burning it, with levels Much less harmful chemicals compared to conventional cigarettes, which are produced with aerosols containing nicotine.
A group of specialists stressed during a recent virtual seminar in Bulgaria about electronic cigarettes and alternative products to traditional cigarettes, that electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products are a better alternative than traditional products, due to the decrease in their toxic and harmful components to the user by more than 90% compared to the traditional ones. This is due to the difference in the chemistry adopted in this and that, in addition to the absence of the combustion process in the new alternatives and its replacement by the process of heating tobacco at a temperature much lower than the temperature required for the combustion process of tobacco in traditional cigarettes.
While the alternative products that rely on heating with natural tobacco offer a sensory experience similar to the taste and flavor of nicotine for adult smokers, they are today a bridge for millions of people around the world to cross to obtain an auxiliary means as alternatives to traditional cigarettes for those who do not wish to quit.
