Heated tobacco products (HTPs), also known as heat-not-burn products, have gained popularity in the UK as an alternative to traditional smoking and vaping. Unlike e-cigarettes that vaporize a liquid, HTPs heat real tobacco to produce an inhalable aerosol. This process aims to reduce the harmful chemicals typically associated with combustion in regular cigarettes. The UK market for HTPs has been growing, driven by smokers seeking reduced-risk alternatives. Regulatory bodies in the UK, such as Public Health England, acknowledge the potential benefits of HTPs over traditional smoking, but they emphasize the need for ongoing research to fully understand their health impacts and long-term safety compared to both smoking and vaping.
