Health Alert: FDA will allow sales of new nicotine delivery device that heats rather than burns tobacco, saying it is less toxic than cigarettes

After an almost two-year review, the Food and Drug Administration cleared Philip Morris' iQOS for sale in the United States. The device is already sold in dozens of countries, but it has triggered debate among health experts over whether iQOS would help or hurt public health. The FDA, in announcing the decision, said the devices are "appropriate" for the protection of public health because "the products produce fewer or lower levels of some toxins than combustible cigarettes." The agency also said it has placed stringent marketing restrictions on the products in an effort to prevent minors from using the device.
