Tobacco industry technology innovation with people’s health demands strongly prompted the world’s largest tobacco giant to explore new type of tobacco products. From carbon heating to the heat-not-burn e cigarettes, tobacco giants introduced a premier eclipse starting 1988. In addition to that, E cigarette started when the complexity of traditional composition of tobacco reduce its taste and has been unable to satisfy consumers. Furthermore, E cigarette includes a variety of devices that allow users to breathe in an aerosol which contains flavorings, nicotine and other additives. Sample devices are “e-cigarettes” and ‘vapes”.

Concept

There are two main types of e-cigarettes: vaporized e-cigarettes and heated not burning e-cigarettes (like HEECHI devices).

The vaporized e-cigarette can make the smoke oil containing nicotine, flavor and other substances produce suspended particles-aerosol by heating. Heating without burning the e-cigarette can reduce the harm of smoking by heating the sheet and cut tobacco.

Heat-not-burn product is now one of the newest tobacco products in the market. It uses battery power to heat tobacco leaves to about 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius) to produce an inhalable tobacco aerosol.

Major consumer groups

E-Cigarette used among Chinese adults. Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the Lancet Public Health published a research. According to the results of repeated cross-sectional surveys in 2015-2016 and 2018-2019, traditional cigarette are used by male smokers and heavy smokers, who want to quit smoke, etc. But healthy lifestyle smokers use e-cigarettes.

Difference

The HNB products are only heated without burning with external equipment at a very low temperature of 350°C  that relatively reduced harmful substances while ordinary cigarettes are lit and smoked, many harmful substances (commonly known as tar) will be produced at high temperature (600°C-800°C).

Therefore, HNB products have been introduced to markets around the world, attracting trendy or potentially health-conscious consumers.
