Types : Devices that heat tobacco at lower temperatures than cigarettes (e.g., IQOS, glo, and Ploom)
How It Works : HTPs produce nicotine-containing aerosol without burning the tobacco, thus reducing
harmful chemical exposure.
Popularity : HTPs are popular in Japan and South Korea, where they have reduced cigarette sales
signicantly. Japan saw a decline in cigarette consumption by 27% after HTPs entered the market,
rejecting the appeal of a heated, smoke-free option.
Effectiveness : While safer than cigarettes, HTPs still contain tobacco and may not oer the same
level of harm reduction as non-tobacco options like vaping.
