Swiss Research Group Releases Report Comparing iQOS and Cigarette Harm
An independent Swiss study comparing iQOS with conventional cigarettes found sharply lower levels of harmful substances in iQOS aerosol, adding to ongoing debate over its relative risk.
An independent study by a Swiss research group compared iQOS and regular cigarettes, showing that harmful substances in the tobacco smoke inhaled from iQOS are significantly reduced.<\/span><\/div>

Regarding the harm of iQOS, there are many articles published online testing its safety, where we attempt to evaluate the unreasonable aspects of iQOS and address them reasonably. However, it is clear that iQOS does indeed reduce harm by 80-95%, as stated by Philip Morris. Nevertheless, iQOS is not completely without harm; this discussion only focuses on the significant differences compared to smoking.<\/span><\/div>

According to the Swiss study, there is clear evidence that switching to iQOS significantly reduces the amount of "garbage" (harmful substances), especially the carcinogenic tar content, which will be detailed in the table below.<\/span><\/div>
