There are various types of heat-not-burn products. Heat-not-burn tobacco products heat up tobacco using a battery-powered heating system. As it starts to heat the tobacco, it generates an aerosol that contains nicotine and other chemicals, that is inhaled. They also generate smoke. Gases, liquid and solid particles, and tar are found in the emissions. They contain nicotine, which is the reason these products are highly addictive. They also contain additives not found in tobacco, and are frequently flavored. It heats tobacco leaves at a lower temperature than traditional cigarettes, which is about 250–350 °C (around 500 °F.). These products provide some of the behavioral aspects of smoking. The heat source may be embedded; external; or a heated sealed chamber; to deliver nicotine using tobacco leaf. Some use product-specific customized cigarettes. Without using an electrically controlled heating system, there is a device that uses a carbon heat source that, once lit, passes heat to a processed tobacco plug. There are devices that use cannabis. They are not electronic cigarettes. They can overlap with e-cigarettes such as a combination of an e-cigarette and a heat-not-burn tobacco product, for the use of tobacco or e-liquid.A 2016 World Health Organization report found no compelling evidence has been presented for the claims of lowered risk or health benefits compared with traditional cigarettes, which are based on industry-funded research for these products. A 2018 Public Health England report states that the evidence indicates that heat-not-burn tobacco products may be much safer than traditional cigarettes but less safe than e-cigarettes. The aerosol contains levels of nicotine and cancer-causing chemicals comparable to regular cigarettes. Another source found, some of the substances inhaled from using these products are carcinogens. Although heat-not-burn tobacco products are probably less dangerous than smoking, it would be better for smokers to completely stop, according to the Committee on Toxicity. There is a lack of evidence on the possible effects of second-hand exposure. The limited evidence on air emissions from the use of heat-not-burn tobacco products indicates that toxic exposure from these products is greater than that of e-cigarettes. There is insufficient evidence on the efficacy of such products on quitting smoking.As early as the 1960s, tobacco companies developed alternative tobacco products with the goal of supplementing the cigarette market. Heat-not-burn tobacco products first came to market in 1988, however they were not a commercial success. There has been a global decline in tobacco consumption that, if continued, will negatively impact the tobacco industry's profits. This decline led the industry to invent and market new products, such as heat-not-burn tobacco products. Smokers regularly reported heat-not-burn tobacco product use to be less satisfying than smoking a cigarette. These products have been introduced by large tobacco companies. The latest generation of heat-not-burn tobacco products appears to be the most recent presentation to the old tobacco industry strategy of working to create partnerships with governments and health advocates, presenting claimed 'harm reduction' products as an option to address the tobacco epidemic. Current smoking bans may or may not apply to heat-not-burn products.
