| cigarette smoke aerosol is a complex
and dynamic mixture of
gases, liquid droplets, and solid particles suspended in air; generated
by combustion, pyrolysis, and pyrosynthesis processes that overlap
with low temperature distillation and sublimation processes4

| IQOS aerosol contains low levels of low molecular
weight gases
(such as CO, CO2 and NH3), aldehydes, ketones,
low molecular weight hydrocarbons, and aromatics formed from drying,
evaporation, and thermochemical decomposition (torrefaction/low temperature
pyrolysis) of tobacco4,30

by IQOS was described to contain elements from
pyrolysis and thermogenic degradation that are the same harmful constituents
of conventional tobacco cigarette29
