Good evening,Heated cigarette blogger Genki (@MOQLOG_JP)It is.
It was hot outside today too (sweat).
The coming season is a tough time for smokers... There used to be air-conditioned smoking rooms, but now there are only outdoor smoking areas.
Frankly speaking, cold winter is hard, but summer is not only hot but also attracts mosquitoes, which I personally dislike more than winter.
Well, there were no particular topics,Today, it is commonly known asRRPI would like to introduce aboutThe following is a list of the most common problems with the
This word is actually quite relevant to us, and we hope you will read it.
Tobacco Harm Reduction
Harm reduction is a public health practice, strategy, or policy aimed at minimizing as much as possible the harm or danger associated with a behavior (legal or illegal) when an individual is unable to immediately stop the behavior,

The first thing I would like to introduce in explaining Reduced Risk Products is the concept of harm reduction.
It was first used to treat AIDS and drug addicts, and alcohol is also included in this category.

Conventional cigarettes come with various risks to your own health as well as to those around you, don't they?
In other words, Reduced Risk Products are "less harmful to the environment and the individual" than conventional cigarettes.
Next generation cigarettes such as Icos, Plumes, Glows and Pals are truly RRPs from the perspective of harm reduction.
Risks of conventional cigarettes
Psychiatrist Mike RussellHe used to be a member of the."nicotinein search oftobaccoSucking thetarDeath byHe said.The following is a list of the most common problems with the
Nicotine is considered more addictive than cocaine and other drugs, and Russell is right that we have been smoking cigarettes for decades because of nicotine.
However, in terms of toxicity, nicotine is no less harmful, but tar is generally considered to be far more harmful.
The reason for this is that it contains many toxic substances, including carcinogens, and the secondhand smoke that affects the surroundings is also mainly a health hazard caused by this tar.
Less harmful = produces as little tar as possible
We smokers are, in other words, nicotine addicts, and it is very difficult to be irritable and fidgety without nicotine.
Therefore,nicotinewhich is also the biggest cause of health problems while containingtarDo not generate a "No".If we can achieve both, it will be for the benefit of the world as a reduced-risk product.
It was with this idea in mind that Icos, Plumtec, Glow and Pals were born.
It was an effort by cigarette manufacturers to survive amidst the worldwide call for a smoking ban.
Features of Heated Cigarettes
It may be too late to say this now, but each company has successfully achieved both of these goals by focusing on R&D.
By using the power of electricity to heat "tobacco leaves" without burning them, nicotine can be ingested,brilliantlytarandcarbon monoxideYou have succeeded in greatly reducing the occurrence ofThe following is a list of the most common problems with the
The three major toxic substances in tobacco are nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide.
The fact that we were able to reduce two of these is great.
If all smokers in the world could switch to heated cigarettes, the health hazards caused by tar and carbon monoxide to the smoker and those around him or her would decrease.
This is a great "tobacco herm reduction".
Why they still beat us.
The argument of smokers like me is exactly this "tobacco herm reduction": compared to the days when all smokers smoked paper cigarettes, it would be better to encourage heated cigarettes, right? But this is not acceptable to the nonsmokers.
This is because the nonsmokers do not compare it to paper cigarettes...and so on,Because our stance is that if it's even slightly harmful, it's NG.The following is a list of the most common problems with the
Certainly, I am aware that it is harmful to whatever degree, so I don't understand the feelings of the nonsmokers, but why not separate smoking and non-smoking....
I think the restaurant has the right to choose non-smoking or smoking, and so do we as customers.
I'm not saying that people should be allowed to smoke anywhere, but if there are stores and places where they can smoke, many people will go there even if they are a little far away or the price of coffee is high.
Reduce Risk Products Summary
As long as nicotine is harmful and requires a certain degree of smoking pleasure, it will be difficult to gain the understanding of nonsmokers, but I can only hope that the development departments of cigarette manufacturers will one day develop products that will make people say this is OK.
At the same time, I would like to see more research on the harmful effects.
It may be difficult to do so now, but when we can get really solid results, we can gather smokers and conduct an "open experiment".

postscript
Sorry, I got a little sidetracked at the end with my usual quirk, but I briefly introduced Reduced Risk Products.
I hope you now have some idea that heated cigarettes such as Icos were not born out of thin air.
Incidentally, we have also written an article on cigarette taxation in the past, so if you still have time, please take a look at that as well.
It is a difficult time for smokers, but let's protect the smoking environment by observing manners and rules!
