Burning tobacco creates smoke. This smoke contains high levels of harmful chemicals that primarily cause smoking-related diseases like lung cancer.
The best choice any smoker can make is to quit tobacco and nicotine entirely—but many don’t. Any adult who doesn’t quit can omit burning by switching to a smoke-free alternative; which is just that - free of smoke.
These alternatives contain nicotine, which is addictive and are not risk-free, but they can be a better choice than continued smoking.

What happens when you remove the burning?
It’s true that humans wouldn’t be where we are today without fire—but in some areas of every-day life, such as smoking, it’s time we stamped out burning. Thanks to new technology and more information that we have at our fingertips, this is now possible.
When you remove the burning process, exposure to harm is reduced. Smoke-free products produce lower levels of harmful chemicals compared with cigarettes, because they do not burn or create harmful smoke.
