International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
Between 2015 and 2019, total cigarette sales in Japan dropped by 34 percent. THP was introduced in Japan in 2015
THP Science:
Second hand aerosols from THP have been shown to be three orders of magnitude lower than that for cigarettes.
The use of Tobacco Heated Products could lead to a significant reduction in exposure to harmful substances compared to combusted cigarettes..
Biomarkers in studies have shown potential for health improvement compared to smoking for consumers of THP.
Smokers who switch entirely to the use of this THP, are reasonably likely to reduce disease risks compared to those continuing to smoke.
Carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides are 97-99% lower in the aerosol of THP compared to mainstream cigarette smoke.
