Heated Tobacco Products (HTPs) are devices that heat tobacco instead of burning it. This process produces an aerosol that contains nicotine and other chemicals, which users inhale. HTPs are designed to offer a smoking experience with potentially lower levels of harmful substances compared to traditional cigarettes. Unlike conventional smoking, where tobacco is combusted, HTPs use a heating element to warm the tobacco to a specific temperature. This method aims to reduce the production of tar and harmful byproducts associated with burning tobacco. HTPs are part of a broader category of alternatives to smoking, including e-cigarettes and vaping devices.
