Overview
Heat-not-burn (HnB) devices heat tobacco leaves just enough to create an aerosolized version of a nicotine vapor instead of burning tobacco completely like in traditional cigarettes. This still exposes users and those around them to toxins and carcinogens, but less than traditional cigarette smoke. The United States Food and Drug Administration does not consider it an aid in quitting tobacco or cigarettes, since it still sustains nicotine addictions.
Commentary
It’s actually really easy to become addicted to nicotine in rehab facilities. It’s almost as easy to get vapes or cigarettes as candy. Quitting nicotine seems like a “nice-to-have.”
