According to the “Heated Tobacco Products: Potentials of Harm Reduction, Improvement of Indoor Air Quality and the Need for Further Studies,” aerosol from tobacco harm reduction products like HTPs is not the same as smoke and does not produce the same harms as smoke. “The conclusions are clear: it is not smoke, and while not risk-free, it contains only a fraction of the HPHCs (harmful and potentially harmful compounds) found in cigarette smoke.” Published on SciEnggJ, the official journal of the Philippine-American Academy of Science & Engineering or PAASE, the study was authored by Aldwin A.
Camance, a chemical engineer and a passionate climate change mitigation advocate who has conducted more than 50 environmental impact assessments and numerous environmental risk assessments. He is also a senior technical consultant at Prism Express Consulting. “All calculations estimate a reduction in possible deaths and incidence of cancer because of switching to HTP,” according to the paper.
The Nicotine Consumers Union of the Philippines (NCUP) said the findings of the study prove that nicotine is not the problem but the way it is consumed through combustion. “By using .
