Smoke

Combustion of organic material generates smoke that is an aerosol containing solid and liquid particles formed from the emissions.

First came the flame and we received its power.

But when we used it, we discovered that it entailed a severe consequence.

The smoke, an unwanted byproduct of a chemical reaction called combustion.

Think about the exhaust pipe of a car,

The chimney of a coal-fired power plant

Or a cigarette.

They’re all about combustion

In the case of a lit cigarette, the tobacco burns

And smoke is created, containing high levels of harmful and potentially harmful chemicals,

The primary cause of smoking-related diseases.

Combustion can be avoided by heating tobacco instead.

This way a nicotine-containing aerosol is generated that is not smoke.

While it is true that smoke is an aerosol, not all aerosols are smoke.

And what makes a real difference is composition.

In the absence of combustion, the levels of harmful chemicals in the aerosol can be significantly reduced compared to cigarette smoke.

This, of course, has to be scientifically substantiated product by product.

Smoke-free alternatives are only for adult smokers who would otherwise quit smoking. They are not risk-free and deliver nicotine, which is addictive. The best choice any smoker can make is to quit tobacco and nicotine altogether.
