Vaping and Heated Tobacco Products’ Smell vs Cigarettes

As an adult smoker, you are aware of the lingering smell that cigarette smoke produces. It hangs around the house, in your hair, clothes and on furniture. For any smoker switching from continuing to smoke cigarettes to a smoke-free device, learning about other products’ smell - and whether it is the same as the smell produced by a cigarette – may be of interest.
 
 Smoke-Free: Less Smell? 
 
 Cigarette smell is powerful and can taint your surroundings. It is a common problem smokers are familiar with, and there are reasons why cigarettes produce an odour when lit. Through combustion - the act of burning - cigarettes leave a residue, and this can stick to everything it touches including clothes, and even hair and skin. The smell does not just hang around while you are smoking, either. The odour may linger for hours after a cigarette is extinguished impacting your home.
 
 The unpleasant smell of cigarettes remain, and smokers who would otherwise continue to smoke should consider one of the many scientifically substantiated smoke-free options that are now available. Cigarettes expose others to smoke – IQOS doesn’t. IQOS doesn’t produce smoke. It produces a tobacco vapour that contains significantly less harmful chemicals*, resulting in less impact on the air around you and others compared to cigarette smoke.
 
 So the answer to the question is yes, scientifically substantiated smoke-free products such as IQOS do generate less smell than cigarettes.
 
 Important information: IQOS is not risk-free for you or others around you.
 
 *Average reductions in levels of a range of harmful chemicals (excluding nicotine) compared to the smoke of a reference cigarette.
 
 
 Smoke-Free Devices Benefits: Smells 
 
 If you’re an adult smoker looking for a heated tobacco product - one that uses real tobacco, but are worried about cigarette smoke smell, you might like to know that IQOS heats the tobacco inside the tobacco stick at a controlled temperature instead of burning it like cigarettes do . So does heated tobacco smell?
 
 IQOS produces less smell than cigarettes. IQOS leaves less lingering smell than cigarettes. IQOS generates no cigarette smoke smell and IQOS leaves less smell on furniture and fabric than cigarettes. As IQOS produces less smell than cigarettes, it is less likely to bother people around you.
 
 IQOS uses real tobacco sticks commercialized under the HEETS brand, which are specially designed with IQOS technology and come in a variety of blends, flavors and aromas. The  HEETS sticks work with the IQOS device . HEETS are not risk-free and they contain nicotine, which is addictive.
 
 The best decision any adult smoker can make is to quit tobacco and nicotine use altogether. IQOS are not alternatives to quitting and are not designed as cessation aids.
