The shop is what cigarette maker Philip Morris International calls an embassy for iQOS, a €70 ($79) device that gives a nicotine hit by heating tobacco instead of burning it.

I've seen vids of a few variants of that, normally older Chinese blokes packing them up with baccy. I've also seen the same devices being sold as 'dry herb' vaporisers.

Looks like a shit version of the atom raw / g pen.

It will still be more harmfull than vaping e liquid because of the tar and all the other chemicals in raw tobacco.
They are getting desperate to keep folks hooked on big T and dieing younger.

It's quite terrible really.

Phillip Morris is way late to the party. Like @philTBA said 'dry herb' vaporisers have been around for a while:

This particular version, so I understand, allows one to 'chill with the homies' and 'crack a 40' whilst vaporising said herb.

They actually burn whatever's in there, spot the exposed coil in the base. There's a few that have a ceramic chamber that's heated from the outside so there's no direct heat. As @fir q said, you'r still gettin a lot of the crap associated with tobacco.

It'll be interesting to see how the powers that be react to it. It'll be more than mildly ironic if they don't try and regulate this.

Hi
Total garbage. See the cost! A little less than a pack of cigarettes, about half the product and no tax (I think) means they profit much more per pack. I am glad I am no longer addicted to their products.
