Reduced risk nicotine products
Reduced risk nicotine products have gained popularity in recent years as a safer alternative to traditional tobacco use. One of the most notable products in this field is the IQOS Iluma, which uses tobacco heating units instead of burning it.
Nicotine is an addictive substance present in tobacco products, and is the main cause of cigarette addiction. However, reduced risk nicotine products, such as IQOS Iluma, offer an innovative solution for smokers who want to reduce the risks associated with tobacco use.
The IQOS Iluma uses tobacco heating units, known as “terea”, instead of burning the tobacco. These tereas are inserted into the device and heated to a controlled temperature, allowing the release of nicotine and other compounds without generating smoke or ash. This means that combustion does not occur and, therefore, the levels of toxic and carcinogenic substances present in traditional cigarette smoke are reduced.
Risk reduction is a fundamental aspect of reduced risk nicotine products. By not generating smoke, the risks associated with the inhalation of toxic and carcinogenic substances present in tobacco smoke are eliminated. Furthermore, since there is no combustion, the harmful effects of secondhand smoke are avoided, which benefits both smokers and the people around them.
