Absence of combustion in IQOS
We have conducted several studies to demonstrate the absence of combustion in IQOS, including temperature measurements, experiments demonstrating the absence of exothermic processes, and measurements of constituents that represent typical markers of combustion.
Our studies also support that the aerosol of IQOS does not contain solid particles that are produced when plant material is burned. In addition, since burning requires oxygen, we have tested IQOS in an oxygen-free atmosphere and the results showed that the aerosol generated by IQOS was equivalent under both atmospheres, supporting the view that combustion does not occur during IQOS use.
