Heating tobacco products and electronic cigarettes (also known as e-cigarettes and vaping products) are two smokeless alternatives that, after scientific evidence and regulation, share a common goal: to offer adult smokers a better alternative to smoking cigarettes, which they would otherwise continue to use.
There are differences between heating tobacco products and electronic cigarettes, and it's important for adult smokers to understand them. Here are some of the similarities and differences between the two:
Do heated tobacco products and e-cigarettes use real tobacco? Heated tobacco devices heat real tobacco within a specific temperature range, using an electronic temperature control system to prevent it from burning. In contrast, e-cigarettes vaporize an electronic liquid solution containing nicotine and flavorings when users puff on them.
Do heated tobacco products and e-cigarettes contain nicotine? Heated tobacco products and most e-cigarettes do contain nicotine, although some of the liquids used in e-cigarettes are nicotine-free. Nicotine is addictive and not without risk.
Is nicotine added to heated tobacco products or e-cigarettes? In heated tobacco products, nicotine is naturally present in the tobacco used in the product.
In contrast, in electronic cigarettes, nicotine extracted from tobacco is added to the e-liquid used in the product.
Are heated tobacco products and e-cigarettes smoke-free? As they don't involve combustion, both heated tobacco and e-cigarettes don't produce ash or smoke. Instead, they use a heating system to produce aerosol that users inhale.
