Why Go Cigarette Free
The Problem Isn’t Tobacco. It’s the Burning.
Most people think nicotine is what makes smoking harmful - but that’s not the case.
Yes, nicotine is addictive. But it’s not what causes the serious health risks.
The real danger comes from the tar, carbon monoxide, and the more than 7,000 toxic chemicals released when tobacco burns. That’s what damages your
lungs, heart, and overall health.
Smoke-free alternatives don’t burn tobacco and they don’t produce smoke. No smoke means no tar.
Scientific research from countries like the UK, Japan, and Sweden shows that switching completely to smoke-free products can support individual health and reduce smoking rates across entire populations.
This isn’t about encouraging nicotine use - it’s about reducing the harm caused by smoking. For adult smokers in the Maldives who aren’t ready or able to quit, switching to a smoke-free product could offer a significantly less harmful alternative.
