Is it true that smoking a PlumTec helps you quit smoking? A story about the future of cigarettes with surprising results.

Hello,Heated cigarette blogger Genki (@MOQLOG_JP)It is.

Nowadays, one in two or three people use heated cigarettes such as Icos, Glow, and Plumtec.

I have found myself owning all three, and I am sure you all know that compared to paper cigarettes, there is no secondhand smoke, and therefore, they have less impact on the people around you.

Now, these next-generation cigarettes are attracting a lot of attention, with PlumTec, which is said to have the least amount of toxic substances and smell,I would like to share the results of an amazing clinical trial that has been published!.

Is using a PlumTec equivalent to quitting smoking?

This experiment was conducted to determine the amount of toxic substances taken into the body using PlumTec.....................

In conclusion, what a surprise!The numbers areNon-Smoking EquivalentThe test results showed that it was..

Let's take a quick look at what kind of testing was done and what results were obtained.

Test Contents

First of all, as for the essential test contents, 60 paper cigarette users were collected.

They were hospitalized for seven days, divided into three groups, and their urine samples and exhalations were measured periodically.

The three groups are divided into three groups. The first group is the group that continues to smoke paper cigarettes as they are.

Next, a group that banned paper cigarettes and allowed only PlumTechs.

Finally, three of the groups were asked to quit smoking.

Incidentally, this experiment was supervised by a professor of the Clinical Research Center of Kitasato University School of Medicine, and "we believe that the sufficient quality as a clinical trial has been ensured.

survey item

This experiment examined how much of 16 specific toxic substances found in cigarettes are taken up by the body.

The substances examined were.

Each of these substances is toxic, including "carcinogenic," and is picked up with reference to the list of ingredients of health concern in cigarette smoke presented by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The 16 substances listed in the survey are substances that are greatly increased by smoking paper cigarettes.

test result

What a surprise, all 15 ingredients other than nicotine were reduced to the same degree as in the "non-smoking group".

...I would like to add that it is difficult for me to understand.

Since all participants in the study were paper cigarette users, the value at the beginning of the study is 100.

The test was conducted to determine how the toxic substances in the body of each group decreased.
(Did 100 turn into 50, or 20, or did it stay the same?)

In other words,For these 16 hazardous substances,I switched to PlumTec and it had the same effect as quitting smoking.That is to say....

Incidentally, nicotine was reported to be reduced by about half in the nonsmoking group.

What to Expect

From these results,Changing from paper cigarettes to PlumeTech is,Potential to reduce risk of disease compared to continuing to smoke paper cigarettesis quite conceivable, isn't it?.

Of course, it still contains nicotine, so it is still a cigarette (i.e., harmful), but I think it is fair to say that we have achieved a step forward in coexistence with "non-smokers," which is JT's goal.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's survey also reported that Icos and Glow also have reduced toxic substances, although to varying degrees.

I think these results should be appreciated.

The risk of nicotine dependence is even greater.

What prevents me from rejoicing with both hands at this result is the fact that I cannot break free from nicotine dependence in the present situation.

Because all next-generation cigarettes have a lower nicotine intake than paper cigarettes,May increase nicotine dependence moreIt is also said that the

Just because they are less harmful than paper cigarettes does not mean that you should be smoking them stupidly.

Nicotine intake similar to that of paper cigarettes

The nicotine intake from smoking new cigarettes using leaf tobacco is estimated to be about 80% of that of paper cigarettes. However, smokers continue to smoke until the blood nicotine level reaches a certain level and they feel satisfied, resulting in the same amount of nicotine ingested into the body as with cigarettes. Therefore, the new cigarettes also cause nicotine dependence.

Intended as a smoking cessation, but instead promotes nicotine dependence

There is a misconception that "new cigarettes will help you quit smoking," but there is currently no data to support this. On the contrary, surveys in Japan and other countries have shown that people who use new cigarettes are more likely to quit smoking compared to those who use paper cigarettes. In addition, a comparison of the amount of varenicline, a prescription smoking cessation drug used by those who quit smoking (which relieves the symptoms of nicotine dependence), showed that those who used the new cigarettes required more of the drug.

postscript

Sure, there may be less harm when you smoke, but if you are not satisfied with your intake and smoke a larger quantity, your intake may not change as a result.

Also, as mentioned in the study results, heated cigarettes have a short history, so it is possible that there could be advantages and disadvantages to continuous smoking.

In any case, we smoke to relax and refresh ourselves, so it is a mistake to be overly concerned and stressed.

Nowadays, I still want to smoke as much as I like.
