What Is the Difference Between IQOS and Electronic Cigarettes

See the difference and inform yourself, because now is the time to make the right choice!

Recently, IQOS and Vaping products - known as "vape devices", electronic cigarettes or e-steam products, have become part of the daily routine of most smokers who are looking for a sophisticated alternative to smoking, with a reduced risk.

IQOS tobacco heating products and e-cigarettes are two smoke-free alternatives, that, when scientifically supported and regulated, have one key purpose. They can provide a better alternative to cigarettes for adult smokers, who would otherwise continue smoking.

Logically, the question arises: What is the difference between an IQOS device and an electronic cigarette?

The first thing to note is that IQOS is a product that doesn’t burn tobacco, making it a kind of hybrid device. Instead, the tobacco heats up and releases aerosol that is fundamentally different from smoke.

Following the revolutionary heat-not-burn technology for delivering nicotine with heat, this device has 95% less harmful chemicals compared to other devices.

Contrary to IQOS devices, e-cigarettes that have the same purpose do not contain tobacco, but heat e-liquid instead. The smoking process consists of heating the e-liquid in order to create e-steam.

IQOS

On the subject of nicotine, it is important to note that IQOS is the first and only device that uses nicotine which is naturally present in the tobacco used in consumption, and is classified in the category “products with modified risk“. This means that:

a) IQOS heats, but does not burn tobacco;
b) the use of this device significantly reduces the production of harmful and potentially harmful chemicals;
c) Scientific research confirms that a complete transition from classic cigarettes to IQOS reduces the body's exposure to harmful and potentially harmful substances.

In contrast, e-cigarettes add tobacco-derived nicotine to the e-liquid which is used in consumption.

When it comes to consumption, compared to electronic devices, IQOS is a more realistic alternative in every sense, providing an overall user experience in the process. While IQOS devices release aerosols, their soft tips capture the feeling of smoking more accurately.
