NPA's warnings about heated tobacco products
Posted on 2026-09-15 15:07:13
With the beginning of a new semester, the Health Promotion Administration is
again warning that heated tobacco products can produce harmful substances.

They include carbon monoxide and the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene, or BaP.



Citing an international study, the H-P-A also notes that heated tobacco use
can cause oxidative stress and inflammation, damaging cells and tissues and
increasing the risk of cancer.



The study also found that adolescents who use those products may face higher
risks of asthma and allergies, as well as mental health effects.

The H-P-A stresses that heated tobacco products are not a smoking-quitting
tool and should not be considered a less harmful alternative.

Taiwan currently allows only approved heated tobacco products on the market,
while e-cigarettes and vapes are completely banned.
