A friend of mine once said, “Commitment is one thing smokers
do not lack”. Indeed, most smokers realise this after having given up decades
of their life and a substantial bit of their respiratory health to this habit.
More often than not, by the time they realise this, too much damage has already
been done. But what do you do if you are a smoker and are desperately trying to
quit the habit? No amount of nicotine patches or gross pictures of tar-coated
lungs seem to do the trick. In this case, the only trick in the book that
remains to be applied is the iQOS e-cigarette. This contains nicotine but
without the paper and tar, so it does not settle down in the lungs.
The first impression of this device is that the amount of
nicotine is surprisingly high. This helps the smoker stay satisfied for a good
couple of hours. At this point, we must mention that even this form of smoking
device contains tobacco and it may get addictive. However, it helps reduce
cravings for chain smokers and is thus a healthier switch any day. It leaves no
stink, no bitterness or irritation in the mouth and does not cause the smoker’s
morning cough unlike normal cigarettes. The smokers eventually end up returning
to normal cigarettes to seek the same satisfaction.
In fact, smokers who have converted to iQOS love it so much
that when they tried a conventional cigarette again, they absolutely hated the
bitterness in the mouth and the stinking fingers. The brand seems to have
really gotten the pulse of the customers right.
While all this may seem perfect, the iQOS comes with a few
flaws as well. The first is its high price point, which makes it unaffordable
for people with lower incomes who are trying to kick the habit of smoking. The
heating element tends to get blunt very quickly and squeezes the tobacco
instead of cutting through it. It needs immediate replacement, and this is not
a cheap affair. The other downside of this product surfaces if you live in a
humid climate. The tobacco and tar harden up and have to be cleaned with an
iron stick out of the device, which is way messier compared to the brush with
which you can clean it out in drier climates.
Summing up, if you are committed to the resolution of
quitting cigarettes as and can afford the price and maintenance, this is a
great investment for your health and will help you cut back on smoking
completely in the future. All that remains to achieve the goal is your
willpower.
Is the iQOS Indeed A Blessing for Smokers?
