Do IQOS Filters Melt After Use? Is It Harmful?
Some users worry that the inner plastic layer of IQOS tobacco sticks melts after use and may release harmful substances. This remains one of the most debated questions around heated tobacco safety.
Take a brand-new unused one and pull it apart to have a look. It is actually made like that to begin with. After use, aside from a slight color change, there doesn't seem to be much difference.
Recently, the hottest topic of discussion has been whether IQOS is actually harmful.
If the plastic layer inside the IQOS tobacco stick melts, will it release toxic substances?
IQOS produces no ash, no secondhand smoke, and is very easy to carry. It heats without burning and filters out harmful substances.
I looked into the question everyone is concerned about: whether the plastic inside the IQOS tobacco stick becomes harmful if it melts. This plastic is made of PLA, a starch-based material. It is a 100% degradable bio-based and biodegradable material, and it is quite expensive.
