“The best-kept secret in tobacco control seems to be smoke-free oral tobacco and nicotine. In Sweden, snus use has decreased cigarette smoking prevalence to as low as 5%, compared to the European Union average of 26%.”

What Is It?
Heated tobacco products use a battery or other heating source in an electronically-controlled cartridge that holds tobacco sticks, plugs or capsules, which are then heated (but not burned). The vapour is then inhaled by the consumer.
The heating process creates a vapour that contains nicotine and flavours from the tobacco. These products aim to mimic the experience of smoking, but with much lower risk.
Why It Can Help You Quit Smoking:
- The products provide smokers with a smoke-free alternative method of consuming tobacco.
Precaution:
- While heated tobacco products offer the potential for tobacco harm reduction, they do not provide as much reduction in toxicants as e-cigarettes.
