Has anyone successfully quit smoking with IQOS? Although you may not see many people using IQOS in daily life, it has become unexpectedly popular. From films like Malena to In the Mood for Love, smoking has been given many labels by non-smokers, but for a
Has Anyone Successfully Quit Smoking with IQOS?
Although you may not see many people using IQOS in your life, it is as inexplicably popular as the celebrity Lu Han.
From the beautiful legend of Sicily to Tony Leung's "In the Mood for Love," smoking has been defined by non-smokers in various ways, but for a long-time smoker who walks around smelling of tar, smoking is just a habit formed after many years of indulgence.
If quitting smoking is a long-lasting war, then every smoker has vowed to launch a Normandy landing in the deep night of quitting.
Every attempt to quit smoking feels like a self-reflection, from nicotine patches and vaping devices to books claiming they can help you quit smoking. Every veteran smoker will tell you that believing in any smoking cessation product is an insult to your intelligence.
Despite this, when IQOS was globally promoted in Japan as a luxury alternative to tobacco, a large number of non-smokers began to claim they were quitting smoking, using translation software to follow international purchasing trends on Facebook every day.
According to Wikipedia, the principle of using IQOS is to insert a tobacco-containing stick into the IQOS heating device, which heats it to just the right temperature to produce nicotine, allowing users to inhale and experience a sensation similar to smoking a cigarette.
Unlike other tobacco products, IQOS garnered worldwide attention upon its release, having secured endorsements from numerous celebrities before its launch. However, due to its tobacco content, it is subject to customs control in countries like the United States and China.
Among the few countries where IQOS is sold, Russia is one of them. The Russian Minister of Justice has encouraged the public to use IQOS and has publicly expressed a vision of replacing cigarettes with e-cigarettes in urban areas.
IQOS can indeed filter out a significant amount of tar, but its poor taste and the need to recharge after each use have led many chain smokers to scoff at it.
As descendants of Siberian grizzly bears, their dignity does not allow them to smoke such a weak product that can only be puffed a few times.
A Russian guy on YouTube posted a review of IQOS that garnered over 200,000 views. In the video, he tried a Marlboro stick and, after holding his breath for a long time, commented.
"This feels a lot like our traditional Russian game of using a wire ball to scratch eggs, although we are no longer in the Soviet era, we Russians are still hardcore red descendants."
Meanwhile, a vaping expert who frequently reviews vape products stated, "Although I already knew it was terrible, I didn't expect it to be worse than a Mexican newspaper rolled with corn husks."
However, every product has its vertical users, just like Thai imported cigarettes with pictures of dead children are hard currency in the underground circles. In China, apart from the still hopeful smokers, you can glimpse the essence of Chinese users on the Xiaohongshu app.
Since e-commerce platforms in China cannot sell IQOS, a group of girls who don't know what Instagram is have provided a local haven for IQOS on Xiaohongshu.
To buy IQOS, a smoker named Lao Zhang logged into Xiaohongshu, hoping to find reliable private goods in the jungle of purchasing agents, but after browsing around, he discovered that how to dress up a power bank was their main focus.
Every year, trends have an official quality inspection stamp. A few years ago, it was Nike shoes, and this year it's the LV × SUPREME grocery basket.
Scrolling down a few pages, almost every post featuring a big face holding an IQOS selfie has a row of princesses with crowns discussing hundreds of comments about whether the Supreme sticker looks better or the rainbow pony looks better.
In China's tobacco culture, social interaction has always been the spiritual pillar of smoking culture. Those middle-aged proletarians exchange pleasantries while passing cigarettes, while the new generation stands out in the tobacco field with the large surface area of IQOS power banks.
This is like the gap between men and women; everyone will wander through the confusion of TF and MAC before stepping on the landmine of Barbie pink. Similarly, girls also don't understand why the yogurt-flavored healthy e-cigarette they gifted to their old smoker boyfriend is just held and not smoked.
If a person spends 3 yuan to buy a pack of cigarettes, then that pack of cigarettes will most likely be in their own mouth. But if someone spends 1,000 yuan on a pack of cigarettes, they are usually not the end consumer of that pack; those who promote IQOS are often the girls who don't even smoke regular cigarettes.

A security guard who has been watching the door at a high-end bar expressed the truth: "Those who smoke IQOS to quit smoking and those who eat fried chicken and drink sugar-free cola are the same group of people. Those who want to quit smoking have already quit and wouldn't carry a car lighter to take a dump."
Although everyone who buys products on the IQOS official website will see a note stating that this product is not intended as a smoking cessation product, in the wave of internet images and consumer disdain, even those who see through entertainment consumption often choose to go with the flow.
