If you’re a very heavy smoker and vaping hasn’t worked, the IQOS Originals Duo Kit could be your answer to a smoke-free life.
Vaping has proven a genuine, safer alternative for millions of smokers around the UK. With affordable, high nicotine strength e-liquids and nic salts available on almost every high street in Britain, it’s easier than ever to find a satisfying replacement for harmful cigarettes.
However, if you’re a very heavy smoker, you may have found making the switch difficult.
Cigarettes are notorious for being highly addictive, but it isn’t just nicotine. Heavy smokers who try to quit often miss the tactile sensation of smoking a cigarette, as well as the nicotine throat hit and familiar taste of real tobacco.
If that describes your situation, then IQOS may have the perfect product for you.
I’m a very heavy smoker and vaping didn’t work for me. What else can I use to help me quit cigarettes?
If you’re a very heavy smoker and you found that vaping didn’t work for you, then the IQOS Originals Duo may be the answer.
IQOS uses revolutionary heat not burn technology. Just like normal cigarettes, the Originals Duo uses real tobacco leaves, compressed into small pellets known as ‘HEETS’.
However, unlike a normal cigarette, the IQOS does not combust or burn the tobacco. Instead, it ‘heats’ it.
While using IQOS is not risk free, switching completely to IQOS presents less risk to your health than continuing to smoke.
What is heat not burn?
Heat not burn, aka heated tobacco, involves heating (or cooking) the tobacco leaves rather than burning them like a normal cigarette.
Normal tobacco cigarettes produce tar when they burn, “a sticky-brown substance that collects in the lungs when you breath in cigarette smoke”. Not only can it cause cancer, but also emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
However, heat not burn products like IQOS do not produce tar as they do not burn or combust the tobacco. Instead, they “generate an aerosol residue that is fundamentally different from “tar” and consists of significantly lower levels of harmful chemicals.”
The evidence shows that, while using IQOS is not risk-free, switching completely to IQOS presents less risk to your health than continuing to smoke.
What are the benefits of the IQOS Originals Duo heat not burn?
Thanks to its heat not burn technology, the IQOS Originals Duo has lots of benefits compared to smoking cigarettes:
- A ‘real tobacco’ taste using actual tobacco leaves
- Cheaper than smoking cigarettes
- An alternative for very heavy smokers who tried vaping unsuccessfully
- Portable and simple to use
- Does not produce cancer-causing tar (note using IQOS is not risk free and it contains nicotine, which is highly addictive).
Who should use the IQOS Originals Duo?
The IQOS Originals Duo is perfect for very heavy smokers who havent been able to quit with vaping. As it uses real tobacco leaves, it closely replicates the taste, sensation and throat hit of a real cigarette.
Heat not burn products like the IQOS can be the perfect first step to a smoke free life for those who struggle most to quit cigarettes.
What are TEREA Sticks/HEETS and how do you use them?
IQOS TEREAs, formerly known as HEETS, are compressed tobacco sticks that are specially designed for use with IQOS HeatControl™ technology. devices. Instead of combusting the tobacco, the IQOS uses an electronically controlled heating blade that generates nicotine-containing vapour.
Each pack contains 20 TEREAs and each lasts about the same as a cigarette, roughly 14 puffs lasting around 6 minutes.
