The composition of the emissions generated from heated tobacco products are generally lower than that found in cigarette smoke.
[3] The aerosol generated contains levels of nicotine and cancer-causing chemicals that are comparable to regular cigarettes.
[6] The particle size of their emissions have a median aerodynamic diameter that is somewhat bigger than those found in cigarette smoke.
[9] Safer heated tobacco products that deliver nicotine but limit emissions of tar or carbon monoxide (CO) is a half-century old idea, which had been unsuccessfully market-tested since 1988, first as Premier by the RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company (RJR) and later as Eclipse (RJR) and Accord Philip Morris International (PMI).
