It is the burning of tobacco that produces the thousands of chemicals responsible for smoking-related disease. But as regulation tightens and science evolves, a new discussion has entered the wellness space: can nicotine exist outside of combustion?

They are paving the way towards a smoke-free future where smokers are now offered healthier alternatives to cigarettes, understanding that most do not want to quit nicotine altogether.
