Do IQOS tobacco sticks contain nicotine?
The reason IQOS is so popular in Japan is tied to cooperation between Japan Tobacco and Marlboro. This is because Japanese law does not allowthe sale of e-cigarettes containing nicotine (called "ding" in places such as Japan and Taiwan). Heated tobacco products first became popular in the United States, and after Marlboro developed integrated portable heated tobacco technology, the response in the U.S. market was average. American consumers preferred roll-your-own tobacco and self-filled tobacco, so this kind of non-customizable product was not especially popular. Therefore, IQOS was jointly developed by Japan Tobacco and Marlboro, and in the early stage it was sold specifically for the Japanese domestic market. This is also why IQOS has so many menthol options (Japanese consumers prefer menthol cigarettes). In terms of use, IQOS is very convenient: you can hold a cigarette-like holder and puff directly from it.
