Heated tobacco, also known as heat-not-burn tobacco, is an innovative alternative to traditional smoking. Unlike conventional cigarettes that burn tobacco, heated tobacco devices gently heat tobacco leaves to release a flavorful vapor without combustion, which significantly reduces harmful chemical emissions compared to traditional smoking. Users can experience a similar ritual and sensation to smoking, including nicotine delivery, but with fewer toxins. This technology aims to provide a middle ground for smokers looking to transition to a potentially less harmful option. While not risk-free, heated tobacco products represent a step towards harm reduction, offering a potentially less detrimental choice for those seeking alternatives to smoking.
