Tobacco at the tip of cigarettes burns at a high temperature,producing a large amount of harmful chemicals contained in smoke.
Unlike cigarettes, lil SOLID heats tobacco to a much lower temperature. Hence, there are differences between cigarettes and this particular tobacco heating system.
lil SOLID doesn’t burn tobacco, producing on average 98% less carbon monoxide (CO) and significantly lower levels of other harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes. Cigarettes produce high amount of carbon monoxide, IQOS ILUMA- doesn't.*
Tar is the residue from smoke after a cigarette is burned.
Lil SOLID does not produce tar, it generates an aerosol residue that is fundamentally different from tar and emits 95% lower levels of harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes.
If you were smoking cigarettes for a long time and started using lil SOLID, the experience might seem a little unusual for you in the beginning.
The reason is that while smoking a cigarette, the smoker also inhales the smoke, which causes a heavy/thick feeling in the chest.
During lil SOLID usage there is no smoke and ash, therefore the feeling is different.
Satisfaction comes from nicotine, and the level of nicotine is completely proportional to the level of nicotine in cigarettes and directly depends on the intensity of puffs.
There is a special device for measuring the level of carbon monoxide (CO), which can be used to measure the concentration of CO in your exhaled air. By the way, the device is available in all official IQOS stores.
It shows how much CO is measured in your exhaled air in parts per million. In the table below you can see how the different CO measurements are characterized.
As you can see, the level of CO in exhaled air is different for cigarette smokers and non-smokers.
In order to reach satiety, it’s important to not use cigarettes for at least 2 weeks. This way you will give yourself some time to get used to this new smokeless alternative.
