"The MOK experience is almost like being able to smoke without actually igniting tobacco. All MOK devices use 'non-combustion heat' technology, which greatly reduces the chances of producing and coming into contact with chemicals found in traditional cigarettes. Using the MOK heater, the tobacco leaves are heated, releasing visible vapor and smoke without the hassles of traditional smoking. No more ashes, no more foul odors, and most importantly, no more carcinogens."<\/span><\/div>

Just like iQOS, MOK works by inserting and heating tobacco sticks, referred to as "COO" instead of "HEETS." said MOK Mayuga, marketing manager at Cax in the Philippines.<\/span><\/div>
