No. IQOS is not risk free. IQOS emits 95% lower level of harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes*. Switching completely to IQOS is less harmful that continuing to smoke. If you’re thinking about the health effects of smoking, your best option is to quit tobacco and nicotine altogether.

Important information: It does not necessarily equal a 95% reduction in risk. IQOS is not risk-free. It delivers nicotine, which is addictive.

*“95% less” represents the average reduction in levels of the 9 chemicals recommended for reduction in cigarette smoke by the World Health Organization, which do not include nicotine. See Important Information.
