• Description:
  IntroductionNicotine addiction poses a significant public health concern in Poland, exacerbated by smoking, e-cigarettes, and heated tobacco products. While tobacco companies claim their alternatives aid cessation, their vested interests warrant cautious scrutiny. This study examines tobacco harm reduction strategies. Aim of the StudyThis study examines IQOS tobacco heaters as a potential harm reduction alternative for smokers. Analyzing health data and regulatory findings, particularly from the FDA, it evaluates the effectiveness and public health impact of heated tobacco products within broader harm reduction strategies. Materials and MethodsThis study examined literature and data to assess IQOS and heated tobacco products' chemical and health risks. It analyzed findings to compare IQOS aerosol and cigarette smoke toxicant exposures, clarifying IQOS's nicotine profile and smoking cessation potential. ConclusionThe findings indicate IQOS may reduce certain toxin exposures compared to cigarettes, but long-term health impacts are unclear. Further research is needed on IQOS's effects, including disease, addiction, and population-level consequences. Cautious regulation is warranted due to youth risks and ethical concerns surrounding nicotine alternatives.
