It will not be long before they find "jesus" and call for banning all "burn", which contains "harmful chemicals"... Then what would the relevancy of VLN's need be, if high nicotine "heat" is not dangerous and VLN is???
PM will have achieved what it set out to do...keep their brands and cigs in tack, without the need for VLN.

"Tobacco Meets Technology
While the idea of heating tobacco (instead of burning it) has been around for more than two decades, it’s only now that we have managed to find a way to heat tobacco that results in a product that is satisfying to adult smokers. Over 3.7 million consumers have already chosen to switch from cigarettes to this product: our tobacco heating system IQOS.
At the heart of IQOS are sophisticated electronics that heat specially designed heated tobacco units. IQOS heats the tobacco just enough to release a flavorful nicotine-containing vapor but without burning the tobacco.
Here’s the key point: the tobacco in a cigarette burns at temperatures in excess of 600°C, generating smoke that contains harmful chemicals. But IQOS heats tobacco to much lower temperatures, up to 350°C, without combustion, fire, ash, or smoke. The lower temperature heating releases the true taste of heated tobacco. Because the tobacco is heated and not burned, the levels of harmful chemicals are significantly reduced compared to cigarette smoke.
What is there? A nicotine-containing vapor – not smoke – that makes IQOS a smoke-free product that is appealing to smokers.
How does IQOS work?
IQOS is a tobacco heating system with three main components – a heated tobacco unit (called HEETS or HeatSticks), an IQOS holder, and a charger.
To use IQOS, a consumer inserts the heated tobacco unit into the IQOS holder, which contains an electronically controlled heater.
The consumer pushes a button to turn on the heater, and then draws on the heated tobacco unit to enjoy the real taste of heated tobacco. Once the heated tobacco unit is finished, the consumer removes it from the holder, and then it can be disposed of safely in a waste bin. When needed, the consumer recharges the holder by inserting it into the charger.
