You don't want to completely quit smoking* and look for a cigarette alternative**? You want a less risky way to enjoy tobacco experience and consume nicotine? For adult smokers, there are alternatives such as tobacco heaters. Find out more about smoking alternatives** and what can offer tobacco heaters.
Quitting smoking
Tobacco heaters, such as glo™, are not medical smoking cessation products*. If you are concerned about the effects of smoking, the best option is to quit smoking and discuss it with your doctor. Switching to heated tobacco is not an alternative to phasing out tobacco products altogether. However, for nicotine or cigarettes users who don’t want to quit smoking, a heated tobacco is a better alternative for smoking**.
Cigarette substitutes and smoking alternatives
Tobacco heaters like glo™ are smokeless and can be used as a cigarette alternative**. By heating the tobacco instead of burning it like traditional cigarettes, the formation of toxicants associated with burning at high temperatures is significantly reduced. There is no combustion with tobacco heaters like glo™. Heating the tobacco leads to around 90% fewer toxicants*** compared to a conventional cigarette. This technology is often referred to as "heat not burn".
Switching to heated tobacco can feel like buying a new piece of tech with unfamiliar features. But our tobacco heater device is easy to use. You will certainly quickly get used to your cigarette substitute!
Switching from cigarettes to tobacco heaters

By switching to a cigarette substitute such as tobacco heater, you don't have to give up that sense of community or other familiar habits.
