neo™ Tobacco Sticks

At the core of the glo™ tobacco heating system lies the neo™ tobacco sticks – specially designed tobacco inserts that deliver a unique and better  experience. These innovative sticks are the result of British American Tobacco's commitment to providing adult smokers with potentially less harmful ways of experiencing tobacco. 

Overview of What Tobacco Heater Inserts Are 

Tobacco heater inserts, also known as heat sticks or neo™ sticks, are specially designed tobacco products that work in conjunction with electronic heating devices. These inserts contain processed tobacco that is heated, rather than burned, to produce an inhalable aerosol or vapor. 

The Evolution of Smoking: From Traditional to Modern Methods 

For centuries, smoking tobacco has been a widespread practice, with traditional cigarettes being the most common method. However, with increasing awareness of less harmful tobacco heating devices, the industry has evolved drastically. Tobacco heater inserts represent a modern approach to tobacco consumption, offering a heat-not-burn experience that aims to provide a less harmful and enjoyable  tobacco experience while potentially reducing certain risks. 

Understanding How Tobacco Heater Inserts Work 

Tobacco heater inserts are designed to be used with a compatible heating device, such as the glo™ tobacco heating system from British American Tobacco. The heating device houses the tobacco insert and uses advanced induction heating technology to heat the tobacco from within, without burning it.  

When the device is activated, the heating element raises the temperature of the tobacco insert to around 240-280°C (464-536°F). This precise heating process releases a flavorful tobacco vapor or aerosol, which the user can inhale, mimicking the experience of traditional smoking. 

The Science Behind Heat-Not-Burn Technology 

The heat-not-burn technology used in tobacco heater inserts is based on the principle of heating tobacco to a temperature high enough to release nicotine and other compounds as an inhalable aerosol, but without reaching the combustion point. By avoiding combustion, the tobacco heating process potentially reduces the formation of certain harmful compounds typically found in cigarette smoke, such as tar and carbon monoxide. 

How Tobacco Heating Systems Stand Out 

Tobacco heating systems like glo™ stand out by heating tobacco instead of burning it, potentially reducing exposure to certain harmful compounds found in cigarette smoke. The innovative technology offers a modern alternative for adult smokers, with customizable flavors and heating modes for a unique experience. 

Less Harmful? 

While tobacco heater inserts are not risk-free, they may offer less harmful ways of experiencing tobacco on a regular basis*. By avoiding combustion, users may be exposed to lower levels of certain harmful compounds found in cigarette smoke*. However, it's crucial to understand that tobacco heater inserts still contain nicotine and release other potentially harmful substances.  

Environmental Impact: Are They a Better  Choice? 

Tobacco heater inserts may have a reduced environmental impact compared to traditional cigarettes*. Since they do not involve combustion, they produce less secondhand smoke and potentially fewer toxic emissions. Additionally, the absence of ash and the reduced risk of accidental fires may contribute to a cleaner and safer environment. 

Taste and Experience: What to Expect 

One of the key advantages of tobacco heater inserts is the ability to customize the experience. Many brands, such as glo™, offer a variety of flavors, ranging from classic tobacco blends to refreshing menthol and fruity options. The heating process also allows for different heating modes, such as Standard and Boost, which can alter the intensity and duration of the experience. 

Step-by-Step Guide on Using Tobacco Heater Inserts 

Using tobacco heater inserts is straightforward: choose your preferred flavor, prepare the heating device, insert the tobacco stick, activate the heating process, and experience  the flavorful vapor. Follow safety guidelines, maintain your device properly, and familiarize yourself with troubleshooting tips for an optimal experience. 

Choosing the Right Tobacco Heater Insert 

Before using tobacco heater inserts, it's important to choose the right product that suits your preferences. Consider factors such as flavor, nicotine strength, and compatibility with your heating device. 

Preparing Your Device for Use 

Most tobacco heating devices require charging before use. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure your device is properly charged and ready for operation. 

Inserting, Activating, and Enjoying the Tobacco Heater Inserts 

Once your device is prepared, carefully insert the tobacco heater insert according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Activate the heating process by following the device's instructions and enjoy the flavorful tobacco vapor or aerosol. 

Safety Tips and Best Practices
