The use of e-liquids and vaporizers is a significant concern in Hong Kong. There is a variation of such a product, and one needs to understand the distinction fully. Since the enactment of the law prohibiting nicotine-based e-cigarettes, several issues arose. It includes the use of IQOS in Hong Kong. IQOS looks the same as e-cigarettes but specifically in the form of a pen. Smoking giants including Altria and Philip Morris introduced these devices in the market. The device heats the product at a lower temperature compared to traditional cigarettes. In this process, toxins release to the body is lesser, unlike when using the conventional puffs. IQOS requires heat sticks to use the products thoroughly. In Hong Kong, heat sticks are not acceptable, while IQOS devices and other heaters are okay. These are the crucial points of non-permission of IQOS in the city: IQOS and e-cigarettes do not use the same technology E-cigarettes act as vaporizers. It converts the liquids into steam or vapor, unlike IQOS. The latter uses actual tobacco in the device and not the drink you commonly use for e-cigarettes. No proof that heated tobacco products are safer than cigarettes Smoking giants promote IQOS as safer than traditional cigarettes. They claim that their products are less harmful than your regular cigarettes. The burning of tobacco creates 7,000 chemicals, which you can still find when smoking a traditional cigar. Philip Morris claims that IQOS makes fewer toxins, there is no direct evidence of such. IQOS could still expose individuals to a higher level of other toxins, as well. IQOS may encourage youth to smoke Since IQOS is using tobacco through a different technology, this can appeal to the youth. Smoking companies promote the product as sophisticated and exclusive smoking products. The child may be encouraged to buy one. This type of promotion can be very alarming. E-cigarettes, themselves, are very appealing to the youth. There is a surge increase use of vaporizers among youth. A percentage of this number is non-cigarette smokers. IQOS may encourage the child to use and smoke tobacco in the form of this device. IQOS may present a unique way to smoke tobacco, but the concept itself is still harmful to one’s health. As a significant argument of the Hong Kong government, youth should not use e-cigarettes. Other related products like IQOS are not acceptable for use among young adults in the city. IQOS with nicotine liquids are not acceptable in Hong Kong. IQOS is under the probition of nicotine substance in Hong Kong. The governnent does not allow any liquid with nicotine in the city.
