Electronic cigarette? Heat not burning cigarette? Traditional tobacco? How Japanese deal with IQOS

Inose Naoki, a former Tokyo director, has recently publicly supported the heating of non – burning tobacco on its Twitter, and hopes that the new products will be treated in Japan for tax reduction in the future to affirm their contribution to the public environment.

On the same day, according to the Yomiuri Shimbun, the largest news agency in Japan, about whether the heat-non-burning tobacco to be treated as a traditional cigarette, the Tokyo municipal government recently collected public opinion. After receiving 2000 people’s feedback on the legal constraints on the non-burning heat as a traditional cigarette, the government of Tokyo said that They can’t ignore the opinion of the 2000 citizens, and because the hazards of the so-called “heated” non burning tobacco are not completely confirmed by science, they should be treated differently from the heat burning products and the traditional tobacco products. According to an analysis of the Philip Moelis Company, which sells the “iQOS” of the non-burning product, the analysis of the Philip Moelis Company reports that the content of the harmful ingredients is reduced 90 percent compared to the traditional cigarette. The Japanese tobacco companies (JT), which sells the same product “Ploomtech”, also said, “there is little concern about health hazards, so it should not be compared with traditional cigarettes.”

As the capital of Japan, the regulations on the prevention of passive smoking in children were set up in Tokyo in October. The regulations containing punishment measures were put into effect in 2017. In order to deal with the Tokyo Olympic Games, Chiba, which is next to Tokyo, has also formulated regulations on the prevention of passive smoking. The regulations on passive smoking prevention in all levels of city, village and village are also in the city of Hokkaido, but not for restaurants and customs shops.

In view of the passive smoking prevention Ordinance, the public is familiar with the harm of traditional cigarettes to health. However, there is a lot of controversy about whether the new type of tobacco such as heating and burning should be treated differently. There are two main arguments.

1. is heat-non-burning tobacco harmful to health?

2. is it still harmful to second hand smoking?

In response, Ishida Masahiko, a medical researcher at the Yokohama Municipal University of Japan, proposed that:

“The passive smoking prevention Ordinance is based on allowing smoking to be free while limiting the health hazards of cigarette smoke to non-smokers. That is to say, if the smoke and steam coming out of heated tobacco will do the same harm to health, it should be restricted like cigarettes. If not, heating and burning tobacco should be excluded from the target.

In view of whether heating does not burn the same harm, although the current amount of sound is still large tobacco companies, public health researchers and research institutions have begun the study of the health hazards of heating-non-burning products to human health. At present, in the paper on the analysis of the substances produced by heatingnon-combustion products, the mainstream of the paper is the opinion of Swiss researchers on the product iQOS of heating non-burning products. According to this paper, the nicotine, formaldehyde, and toxic acrolein produced by iQOS are about 84% less than that of traditional cigarettes.

But it is still not comprehensive to compare the effects of traditional tobacco and heating non – burning tobacco on the health of the users. For non smokers, no tobacco can be called completely healthy, but for smokers who are unable to quit or are not ready to quit, there is no doubt that it will be transferred to the smokers. The new type of tobacco products such as heat and non combustion can reduce the harm of smoking.

Ishida Masahiko believes that carcinogens are in fact universal, and there is not a completely healthy world without any carcinogenic substance, so it is often time to set a safety threshold for different substances.

In a home wine house, a total ban is imposed, but it is not relevant to use vapes that do not release second-hand smoke. Because it does not burn without fire, the ashtray is also made of paper, which is a good way to solve the problem.

The group of the smoking Japanese people is really big enough. In order to smoke and being healthy,  they have taken all kinds of means and attempts. I wonder if we can learn from them or learn from them. How do you think about this new vape pen?

Research says that electronic cigarettes will not affect intestinal bacteria like traditional cigarettes.

According to SlashGear, a new study found that non-smokers and individuals who use “electronic cigarette” have the same intestinal flora. However, according to the study, the intestinal flora of people who smoke traditional cigarettes has been destroyed. This revelation highlights another potential benefit of turning from traditional cigarettes to electronic cigarettes, although smoking is still ideal from a health standpoint.

The study, from researchers at the University of Newcastle and an international team, found that non smokers and people who use electric cigarettes have the same intestinal flora. This is the first time to compare the intestinal microflora of smokers with those who use only electronic cigarettes. As part of the study, the research team took 10 samples from each group and the control group, then used gene sequencing to determine which bacteria existed.

People who smoke traditional cigarettes are found to have lower levels of Bacterias in their intestines. This probiotics may help prevent obesity and Crohn’s disease. Similarly, more Poulet Was’s bacteria were found in the intestinal tract of smokers. Unfortunately, this may increase the risk of colitis and colon cancer.

It should be noted that this is a very small sample size pilot study, and additional work needs to be done. Similarly, the conclusion is not that electronic cigarettes are harmless, but that it seems to be a less harmful option than traditional cigarettes. Although vape has nothing to do with changes in intestinal bacteria, it is associated with potential heart disease and lung injury.

Is vape pen bad to health? 2018 latest answer from the authorities

Yes, Of course.

1, electronic cigarette/vape pen taste: a variety of harmful ingredients in the true cigarette is removed, and then add honey, mixed and made flavor. So the taste of the electronic smoke is slightly light, slightly sweet and micro incense, in the beginning, some smokers are not used to it and smoke more.

2, electronic cigarette/vape pen market is now in chaos, especially in the Amazon market, flooded with a large number of counterfeit products, even the best sales of products, manufacturers are not in line with the qualification requirements.

3, electronic cigarette is still lacking effective supervision, resulting in uncertain future. The European and American areas are very hot and the domestic is relatively cold.

4, some manufacturers and sales companies brag about the electronic cigarettes, for example, many companies allege that the electronic cigarette sets have the function of clearing toxin of lungs. This is all illegal propaganda. Electronic cigarette companies are not drugs at all. And science also proves that electronic cigarettes do not have any function of clearing lung toxin at all. Electronic cigarettes now only replace cigarette cigarettes and auxiliary smoking cessation.

5, the cost of electronic cigarettes is relatively high, not popular.

6, the quality and life of electronic cigarette are relatively poor, and the manufacturing technology of electronic cigarette needs further improvement.

The harm of electronic cigarette:

The electronic cigarette is mainly composed of three parts: the cigarette tube, the evaporation device and the battery which are loaded with nicotine solution. When used, nicotine solution is heated and evaporated and is inhaled into the mouth. Because nicotine is usually dissolved in propylene glycol solution, smokers can breathe out white fog when smoking electronic cigarettes. According to personal preferences, smokers can also add chocolate, mint and other flavors to the flue.

Because of this, the safety of additives in electronic cigarettes is worrying. The German Federal Health Education Center has pointed out that nearly 90% of the gas inhaled from electronic cigarettes is propylene glycol, which can stimulate the respiratory tract in a short time, and what adverse effects on the human body in the long term and repeated inhalation of propylene glycol is still unclear. In addition, in addition to commonly known ethanol, glycerin and essence, American researchers have detected carcinogenic nitrosamines in some electronic cigarettes.

In addition, the principle of electronic cigarette is through the heating of liquid nicotine. The key word in this sentence is nicotine. Nicotine is harmful to your body, no matter how you use it. According to researchers, nicotine contracts blood vessels, increasing blood pressure, but also causes stress on the heart. Therefore, in essence, electronic cigarettes are harmful to health, because they can cause heart attacks and strokes.

3. Yishuang electronic cigarette adopts COP oil core separation technology and honeycomb ceramic atomization technology, which is soft and easy to smoke and closer to the taste of real cigarette.

After this round of financing, “YISTAR Yishuang” will be upgraded to EUSN. Yishuang will also continue to upgrade its product experience, open up new online and offline retail channels, conduct accurate market analysis and fine operation, launch more atomized products, and accelerate the creation of a large healthy ecosphere of atomization.

YISTAR ESUN

SNOWPLUS vape FAQs

Common Concerns

Are e-cigarettes more harmful than cigarettes?

Most of the recent studies documenting the short-term effects of e-cigarette consumption

conclude that e-cigarettes are significantly less harmful than traditional cigarettes and reduce

the impact of second-hand smoke by up to 95%. This helps bring down health risks not only for

you but for the people around you as well!

How is this e-cigarette different from a regular cigarette?

Regular cigarettes deliver nicotine through combustion, i.e., burning tobacco leaf to release

smoke that carries nicotine (and several other chemicals!). On the other hand, e-cigarettes

gently heat a liquid infused with nicotine to create a soft vapor. The main component of

SNOWPLUS’ e-liquids are plant glycerol – a mildly sweet substance that is far less carcinogenic

than tar and other chemicals and byproducts often found in regular cigarettes.

Will I be able to quit smoking cigarettes using this?

All our of e-liquids are crafted and blended carefully by our chemists in order to create an

authentic experience with a fresh twist. There may be an initial adjustment period where you

notice the difference in the experience, but rest assured, that it’s far from unpleasant.Pods Basis

How should I store my pods? Do they expire?

While SNOWPLUS pods don’t expire for at least two years, they are meant to be used soon

after purchase. After two years you may notice the flavor or quality decrease. To help

ensure the quality of the SNOWPLUS pods, store them unopened at room temperature in a

dry environment out of reach of children or pets until use.

How much caffeine is in a SNOWPLUS non-nicotine pod?

SNOWPLUS Coffee pods contain caffeine and zero nicotine. We currently have three Coffee flavors:

Cappuccino, Ice Matcha Latte, and Golden Energy. The caffeine content in Cappuccino and

Ice Matcha Latte pods 0.4mg/g. And the caffeine content in Golden Energy pod is 0.1mg/g.

For your reference, each Snowplus coffee pod contains 1.5ml liquid.

snowplus pro

What is in a pod e-liquid?

SNOWPLUS ingredient include vegetable glycerol, propylene glycol, flavor and nicotine. Vegetable glycerol and propylene glycol are humectants used in vaporization liquids and a variety of common products like toothpaste. Furthermore, our e-liquid delivers nicotine without the usual host of additives, chemicals, and toxins found in regular cigarettes, thereby greatly reducing the health risks posed by traditional tobacco products.

How do smokeless pod make smoke invisible?

Smokeless Edition pods use less nicotine and make the smoke invisible.

Can I open or refill my SNOWPLUS pod?

To help ensure product quality, SNOWPLUS pods are not designed for refills or re-use and should not be opened.Questions about nicotine and use with other substances

I’ve heard e-cigarettes contain a lot of nicotine. Is this true?

SNOWPLUS e-liquids carry only enough nicotine to allow current smokers to switch to e-cigarettes without finding the experience less satisfying, failing which, current smokers would go back to smoking cigarettes. SNOWPLUS Technology makes products only for existing adult smokers, and does not encourage non-smokers or minors to use these products.

Isn’t nicotine dangerous for your health?

Nicotine is simply a stimulant that triggers the brain’s reward circuitry, similar to how caffeine works. The health risks associated with cigarettes are not due to nicotine, but the combustion of tobacco leaves containing hundreds of cancer-causing additives. Nevertheless, we encourage those who use e-cigarettes to still consume nicotine responsibly and in moderation.

Can I use this device while I am on other medication or with alcohol?

Please check with your doctor if you are on a long-term course of medication and for drug interactions. Though the use of nicotine products is quite common with alcohol, we advise drinking more water at such times to keep your throat hydrated, as the combination of alcohol and e-liquid vapor might cause some discomfort.Questions about device

SNOWPLUS devices are made to last! Hardy and durable, a SNOWPLUS device used normally and safely need only be replaced when the standard service life of the batteries begins to deteriorate, which usually takes around 2-3 years.

Is there any guarantee that the device won’t break down?

SNOWPLUS devices are easy to maintain. Using a dry or slightly moistened cotton bud, you can clean the device coating and the charge contracts. While Pro needs no cleaning for its unique coating material.

What's the best flavor of SNOWPLUS vape
SNOWPLUS PRO

Can I take the device on an airplane?

SNOWPLUS is safe for travel, but most airlines restrict the use of vaporizers and have restrictions for lithium batteries. Double check the list of prohibited items by the airline company.

Exposures to the extreme altitude changes can cause leakage in SNOWPLUS pods, especially if they’re partially used. You should dispose of partially used pods before you get on a plane and use a fresh one when you land.

If your SNOWPLUS pod leaks, it’s best to avoid direct contact with the liquid. If your hands come into contact with the liquid, wash with soap and water. You can use a SNOWPLUS pod if some liquid leaks, but carefully wipe it off with a cloth or tissue before inserting into your device. If leakage persists, please contact the SNOWPLUS Care Team.

Can I carry my e-cigarette to other countries?

We would suggest checking local rules and regulations for e-cigarette use and possession before traveling to a new country.
