Marlboro Tobacco Sticks: Analysis and Insights

IQOS is produced by Philip Morris International, the world's largest tobacco company, and its famous brand Marlboro is owned by the company

IQOS is actually not completely regarded as an e-cigarette

Because it is heated by baking

Instead of burning tobacco

Another selling point of the e-cigarette is that it contains only nicotine, but no cancer-causing tar.

So to be precise, it should not be called e-cigarettes, but should be called a focus reduction and harm reduction product for real cigarettes.

Principle: Traditional tobacco produces nicotine by burning

Contains harmful substances such as tar and carbon monoxide

Smoking mainly absorbs the nicotine in tobacco and some of the aroma of the tobacco itself to achieve satisfaction

Tobacco in cigarettes burns at temperatures exceeding 600C, producing smoke containing harmful chemicals.

The main ingredients harmful to health come from substances such as tar produced by combustion

The roasting heating method cannot completely eliminate the generation of tar

But the tar content produced is very, very low, almost negligible compared to normal cigarette burning.

IQOS heats tobacco to temperatures below 350C without burning, without open flames, and without the smell of burning tobacco.

Lower heating releases the true flavor of tobacco. Compared with cigarettes, harmful chemicals are significantly reduced.

Feeling: There is a throat feeling of real smoke

Because it's smoke and not vapor like e-liquid

But it doesn't have the full and round taste of cigarettes

A great god said it tasted like boiling urine

It's a unique taste

But if you don't smoke for a long time, you'll miss the smell

After smoking, I felt that the addiction could be solved, but I always felt that it was almost interesting.

But if you go back to smoking tobacco, you will feel like some burning grain

The smelly smell of burnt tobacco makes people completely lose their addiction, commonly known as stinky”

As we all know, after smoking real cigarettes, the tobacco inside will produce ash and second-hand smoke air pollution after burning. However, IQOS's cigarette bombs are different from traditional cigarettes in that they heat the tobacco instead of burning the tobacco. In this way, after a real addiction with integrity, the cigarette fart will not turn black like the burning of real tobacco, nor will it produce ash, let alone second-hand smoke. The smell of the exhaled gas will be relatively light, which will not leave any smoke on the home or clothes.

Gave some basic entry themes

Mainly compare the changes before and after smoking iqos special cigarette bombs (Marlboro light flavor as an example)

I divided this cigarette into four sections, from left to right, they are cut tobacco/primary filter cotton/ventilation tube/secondary filter cotton.

Cigarette bombs have applied for international patents. Although the cigarette bombs are small, the workmanship is quite fine.

The first is tobacco,

Everyone commonly calls it tobacco tobacco. In fact, it is paper soaked in tobacco liquid. It is a tobacco substitute. It is long strips. The technology is different from that of cigarettes. It will turn black after heating, and no longer smoke can be drawn. After use, the central part of the tobacco has been carbonized. That carbonization is when the paper is heated too high and the water completely disappears, under oxygen-deficient or oxygen-deficient conditionspyrolysisTechnology, the picture above is a demonstration of carbonization.

The second is the primary filter cotton. It is a hollow collar in the middle, which is the source of cool air and buffers the gas. However, it also bears part of the filtration responsibility. When it is heated, yellow will adhere to it. The higher it goes up, the lighter the color will perfectly explain the filtering effect. Not only will it make the air flow inside the smoke drift smoothly.

Then there is the ventilation tube. The most controversial one is this ventilation tube similar to a hard plastic sheet. This is a relatively strange filtering device. The material is similar to a hard plastic sheet. The white plastic part is synthesized from corn silk. It is naturally 100% degradable and pollution-free. The function is to keep the temperature warm when you smoke again, and it also plays a role in filtering tar.

Its main ingredient is PLA, a new type of biobased and biodegradable material made from starch raw materials proposed by renewable plant resources such as corn. Starch raw materials are saccharified to obtain glucose, which is then fermented by glucose and certain bacteria to produce high-purity lactic acid, and then synthesized by chemical synthesis methods. It has good biodegradability and can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature under specific conditions after use, and finally produced

Carbon dioxide and water do not pollute the environment, which is very beneficial to protecting the environment and are recognized as environmentally friendly materials.

Notice that there are yellow oil stains on the right part of it, but there are no left. The ordinary filter on the far left is not stained with yellow. It is the tar that has been filtered out. This is great because cigarettes do harm to the body. A large part of the damage comes from tar. The amount of tar in the smoke itself is almost zero, so there is no need to worry about the production of tar.

Finally, there is secondary filter cotton. The filter close to the mouth is naturally the most effective filter. For real smoke, it is used to reduce smoke, tar and suspended particles produced during combustion at the inlet during smoking. It can also reduce the harmfulness of tobacco and imported tobacco. But for this cigarette, it's harmful substances, nicotine, etc., produced by filtering and heating

The raw material for making cigarette filters is cellulose derived from wood. After cellulose is acetylated (i.e., it becomes cellulose acetic acid or simply acetic acid), dissolved, it is separated into continuous bundles of synthetic fibers called tow. Cellulose is based on its chemical and physical processes, a sodium diacetate substitution (actual substitution range 2.35 - 2.55) cellulose. The tow is opened, plasticized, shaped, and cut to filter size.

In short, the finer the fiber, the higher the filtration efficiency of the cigarette filter.

Okay, that's all for today. It's for reference only. If there are great gods who have new opinions, please give me more guidance.

Several sets of comparisons are shared below for reference only:
