Improvements in cigarettes
How much has cigarette technology improved in the past few decades? I think there is almost no improvement, except for some new products, most of the cigarette brands and models are decades ago, and the cigarettes from decades ago are still the mainstream. It can be seen how much the improvement of cigarettes has been. It may be a monopoly and there is no pressure. There are few improvements in the packaging of traditional tobacco. Some high-end packaging on the market seems to be the products of counterfeit merchants. Even, the packaging of some brands has begun to imitate the packaging of Shanzhai's own cigarettes, which shows that they think about themselves. It seems impossible to lead technological improvements.
The emergence of vape has quickly made tobacco companies nervous, as is known from the case of American tobacco giant Altria's acquisition of a 35% stake in Juul for $12.8 billion. At the vape exhibition in 2018, traditional tobacco companies have begun to show their vape products. It can be seen that tobacco companies not only value vape, but also recognize the prospect of vape. They seem to regard vape as an improved product of cigarettes.
As expected, vape is an improved product of cigarettes. It is better to say that vape is a brand-new product, because it has nothing to do with cigarettes. Of course, if you have to say that they are related, you can only say that vape imitates cigarettes. However, the principle of vape's smoke generation, the raw materials of the product itself are completely different from cigarettes, you may say that the e-liquid of vape contains nicotine and tobacco extract, but vape can be free of nicotine and tobacco extract, don't you say no Don't vape with nicotine and tobacco extract count as vape? Some departments also did not agree. When vape was banned from the Internet in 2019, it did not open up to the vape network without nicotine and tobacco extracts.
It has been 20 years since Chinese pharmacists invented the first nicotine-based vape product in 2003, and vape has brought us a brand new smoking experience.
The vape has several advantages that cigarettes do not, which is the main reason why so many smokers choose the vape. Vape has excellent portability. A small vape is much smaller than a pack of cigarettes. At the same time, there is no need to bring a lighter when using it, so the portability is greatly improved; vape is almost not affected by the use environment, such as under the wind. You can still use vape, but not cigarettes; vape has many flavors to choose from, cigarettes can only be tobacco flavor, and vape can be fruit, beverages, desserts, etc., the flavor of e-liquid on the market has at least been more than tens of thousands.
There are many advantages of vape, and I will not explain them one by one here. The best way to understand the advantages of vape is to buy a vape by yourself.
It may be debatable to generalize the common vape as an improvement on cigarettes, but there is one vape that is quite right to say that it is an improvement on cigarettes, and that is heat-not-burn vape.
Heating non-combustion vape is the biggest technical improvement of cigarettes in the past few decades. Its raw material is the same as cigarettes, but the tobacco is specially made, and then atomized by vape equipment in a non-combustible heating method. The improvement of cigarettes is to improve the heating method of cigarettes to try to reduce the harm caused by tobacco with heat not burn.
However, this heating vape is currently banned in China, and its taste and harm reduction effects are unknown, but even this does not prevent it from becoming the biggest technological improvement in tobacco in recent decades.
