New tobacco products,Compared with traditional tobacco products, it refers to tobacco products that contain tobacco or can produce smoke and taste, can bring people the pleasure of smoking, and meet physiological needs, but do not belong to other categories of tobacco products such as cigarettes, self-cigarettes, pipe cigarettes, hookah, cigars, chewing cigarettes, snuff and other categories of tobacco products in the mouth. It is generally believed that there are mainly e-cigarettes, low-temperature cigarettes (i.e., heated non-burning tobacco products), etc.

What are the characteristics of new tobacco products?

1. No burning is required, which greatly reduces the tar and other harmful components produced by burning, and is less harmful than traditional cigarettes;

2. It will not produce second-hand smoke and will not affect the public environment and the health of others, which will alleviate the contradiction between smoking and smoking in public places to a certain extent;#p#pagination title #e#

3. Contains tobacco ingredients, which can adapt to and meet the physiological needs of consumers to a certain extent.

What is the background for the emergence of new tobacco products?

New tobacco products,It is a product of changes in the tobacco industry and a new low-risk product with the goal of reducing harm.Through various scientific and technological means to simulate the taste of traditional cigarettes, thereby reducing the physical harm caused by traditional cigarettes to smokers. Its main characteristics are that it does not need to be burned, is basically free of harmful ingredients such as tar, and can also meet human needs for ingesting certain nicotine.

#p#Pagination Title #e#here are somecommonLet's take a look at the terminology of new tobacco products.

Terms for new tobacco products

NTP, also known as NGP(New Generation Products), translates as "new tobacco products" or "new tobacco products". Foreign countries often refer to new tobacco products as RRP, Riskreducing products low-risk products (harm reduction products).

Currently, new tobacco products includeE-cigarettes, heated non-combustible tobacco products and smoke-free tobacco productsand other three categories. Among them, the first two types of products both generate smoke during the pumping process, so they are classified as atomized products. Smoke-free tobacco products include chewing tobacco and snuff (divided into dry snuff and wet snuff, the latter is also called oral tobacco, which mainly exists abroad).# p#pagination title #e#

2、HNB

HeatNo Burning Tabaco Products"Heating without burning" or "Heating without burning", refer toHeating non-burning tobacco products。Heating methods mainly include electric heating type, carbon heating type, physical and chemical reaction heating type, other heat source types, etc. Charcoal heating type, a small section of charcoal is added to the head of the cigarette to generate heat after ignition and transfer the tobacco from the back and back sections without the need to use a tobacco rod. The electric heating type requires putting a cigarette cartridge containing tobacco into a smoking fixture to be heated.

#p#Pagination Title #e#

At present, the heated non-combustible tobacco products on the market mainly include international tobacco giants, such as Japan Tobacco Ploom, British American Tobacco Glo, American Reynolds Tobacco Revo, South Korea's KT&G company lil, etc. Most domestic tobacco companies mainly use this model, such as Henan China Tobacco FARstar, GoldenLeaf, Sichuan China Tobacco Kuanzhai + Kungfu, Hubei China Tobacco MOK+COO, etc.

6、NSCs

(NatureSmoke Cigarettes, NSCs) Natural smoke cigarettes use oxygen-free heating technology and belong to China Tobacco's heating non-burning black technology.# p #pagination title #e #

This technology is jointly proposed and constructed by the Key Laboratory of Tobacco Technology of the Tobacco Industry of Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute of China Tobacco Corporation and the Technical Center of Yunnan China Tobacco Industry Co., Ltd. in order to adapt to the new situation of the development of tobacco products, a new category of tobacco products is jointly proposed and constructed.

It is said that this is a patented technology developed by China Tobacco-the unique NSCs anaerobic heating technology. Smoke is naturally generated in the tobacco heating area under low oxygen conditions, diffuses into the aerobic area, and then extracts the smoke through intake air circulation.

7、IQOS

It is an abbreviation of "iquit original smoking", which translates as "I give up traditional tobacco" or "I quit smoking". IQOS is a representative product of heated non-burning tobacco products and an epoch-making product in the field of new tobacco. It is developed by Philip Morris International Inc., the world's largest tobacco company. PM) R & D Design.

#p#Pagination Title #e#8、VAPE

Short for Vapor or Vaporize. Internationally, VAPE is the collective name for e-cigarettes. Because it can literally distinguish electronic cigarettes from cigarettes, the entire e-cigarette industry is currently more inclined to use them.

In 2014, VAPE was named "Hot Word of the Year" by the Oxford Dictionary. No completely equivalent word has been invented in Chinese, but now e-cigarettes are also called electronic atomizers, steam cigarettes, and steam rods. Extensions related to VAPE include VAPING (referring to the act of smoking e-cigarettes) and VAPER (referring to all e-cigarette users, including novices and players).

9、POD

Translated as "separation module", it refers to Xiaoyan instead. Small cigarettes are divided into closed type replaceable small cigarettes, closed type disposable small cigarettes and open type oiled small cigarettes. At present, small cigarettes have replaced large cigarettes as the mainstream product in the market. Among them, JUUL is known as the originator of small cigarettes and is an e-cigarette brand owned by JuulLabs, an e-cigarette manufacturer based in San Francisco, USA. In early 2018, JuulLabs separated the vapor cigarette company PaxLabs and became the top e-cigarette manufacturer on the market. Since then, Juul has focused on cigarette alternatives, while Pax has mainly made blends between nicotine and various plants.# p#pagination title #e#

10、E-liquid

It is an abbreviation for electronicliquid, which translates into e-cigarette fluid. There is also another written term is e-juice. E-cigarette oil is also called electronic atomizing liquid. At present, the flavors of e-cigarette oil on the market mainly include seven categories: fruits, health care, tobacco, beverages, milk, food, and herbs. Brands of e-cigarette oil include imported and domestic ones. Imports mainly come from the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Malaysia, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, etc. Domestic products are mainly concentrated in Shenzhen, China.

11、Nicotine

Translated as "nicotine", commonly known as nicotine, is an alkaloid existing in Solanaceae plants (Solanum). It is also an important component of tobacco and a representative of N choline receptor agonists. It has effects on N1 and N2 receptors and the central nervous system and has no clinical application value. Nicotine can make people addicted or dependent, and repeated use of nicotine can also increase heart speed, raise blood pressure and reduce appetite. Large doses of nicotine can cause vomiting and nausea, and in severe cases, people can die. At present, most e-liquids on the market contain a certain dose of nicotine, and some do not.#p#Pagination Title #e#

12、NicotineSalts

Translated as "nicotine salt", it is a crystal formed by the reaction of free nicotine FreeBase through organic salts. When this crystal is ultimately used, it still needs to be blended with propylene glycol or glycerol to form a solution in a ratio, usually 100mg/ml. Its biggest benefit is that higher nicotine content can be inhaled more easily by human blood, rather than having to be like free radical nicotine smoke oil, which can cause an unacceptable choking feeling. Nicotine salts, used for the first time by PaxLabs, make nicotine more stable by adding an acid. It is believed to be more effective than traditional free-alkali tobacco oil in helping smokers quit and replace smoking. Currently, nicotine salts are mainly used in small cigarette products.

#p#Pagination Title #e#13、CBD

It is the abbreviation of Cannabidiol, which translates into cannabidiol. Cannabidiol is the main chemical component in cannabis and is a non-addictive component of cannabis.

Currently, the global CBD open medical markets include Australia, Ireland, 33 states in the United States, Canada, Israel, Uruguay, Germany, South Korea, Thailand, and the United Kingdom. In Chinese mainland, CBD is not allowed to be imported or manufactured privately. Only state-approved producers can manufacture CBD-related products.

14. Glycerin (VG)

Common drugs and food additives (commonly used to make sweets such as cakes and chocolates) have no side effects on the human body. They are colorless and odorless, and are very hygroscopic, but they are relatively viscous, so they will slightly increase the difficulty of cleaning the atomizer and reduce the oil conduction speed of the core (relatively easy to dry burn/paste). VG can be extracted directly from vegetable oil, coconut oil and palm oil, heated to high temperatures, and then distilled and purified. Therefore, the USP food grade vegetable glycerin used in regular e-cigarette liquids has a purity of 99.7%+0.3% water.

#p#Pagination Title #e#15. Propylene glycol (PG)

Also known as PG, it is used to dilute the viscosity of VG. hygroscopic, slightly sweet, colorless and odorless, and has similar mobility to water. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) describes PG as "generally safe for humans"(ingestion only). It is a common drug and food additive. PG conducts oil well and produces "a small amount of smoke" and a "throat-beating sensation" similar to smoking.

PG has been confirmed by FDA research as a safe additive (for ingestion only), although it is also one of the benchmark materials for antifreeze and is often used in the field of antifreeze and in food and beverages with special requirements. Although PG is generally safe, a small number of people will still have mild allergic symptoms, such as throat discomfort, excessive phlegm, dizziness, etc. These side effects are relatively short and mild.

DL: Lung aspiration mode. Directto Lung。Suitable for high-power, low-ohm and heavy smoke players.

MTN: Mouth and nose pattern. Mouthto Nose。It is neither oral nor pulmonary inhalation. Smoke is simply exhaled through the mouth and throat and then through the nasal cavity. It should be noted that nicotine will also be absorbed in oron-nose mode.

18. Other commonly used terms

#p#Pagination Title #e#TC: temperature control. An alternative use mode other than the watt/power mode available on some e-cigarettes makes appropriate temperature control compatible with the heating wire, allowing users to adjust their atomization temperature.

RTA: Rebuildable Tank Atomizer generally refers to a DIY oil storage atomizer with an oil storage bin that can be rebuilt with an atomizing core, and the oil storage bin is wrapped around the atomizing bin. The atomizer that uses a non-reconfigurable finished atomizing core must be an oil storage atomizer, which is generally directly called a "finished atomizer"

RDA: Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer refers to an oil dripping atomizer without an oil reservoir. Such as Fire God, Veil, Mage, 528.

#p#Pagination Title #e#RDTA – Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomizer. Dripping oil and storing oil atomizer. It is an upgraded combination of RTA and RDA. Such as Wismec's theorem for atomizers.

top oil filling, also known as top oil dripping, the English name is Top Feed, which means that the cigarette holder on the atomizer is taken out, and then the e-cigarette oil is directly injected or dripped into the top of the oil bin.

bottom oil, also known as bottom oil squeezing, or Bottom Feed in English, means that a cigarette oil bottle is built into the temperature-controlled cigarette host. The aerodynamic force generated by negative pressure is used to push the cigarette oil pressure to the position of the atomizing wire through a specific device to complete the conduction of the cigarette oil.# p#pagination title #e#

Ceramic heating wire, is currently the mainstream heating wire material in e-cigarette equipment. It has high resistance precision, good heat conduction characteristics, better e-cigarette oil atomization effect, and glass fiber without traditional heating wires can meet FDA requirements and is safer and healthier for the human body. The alloy wire of the ceramic heating wire is wound on the hard oil guide body, and the tie spacing is more uniform, the contact consistency is better, and the smoke amount is more stable.
