520			_aHeated tobacco (HT), a new tobacco product, is presented by the tobacco industry as an effective and safe alternative to cigarettes. Even if the quantities of harmful compounds emitted by HT are lower than those found in cigarette smoke, this reduction in exposure cannot be equated with a reduction in risk. No study has provided evidence that switching from cigarettes to HT reduces the risk of tobacco-related diseases. HT cannot be considered as a cigarette cessation product and was even designed as a product to initiate or return to tobacco consumption. To promote this product, the tobacco industry essentially exploits the concept of harm reduction and, as such, tries in its commercial communication to create confusion between HT and electronic cigarettes, despite these two products having nothing in common. This promotion is based, on the one hand, on the data of internal studies in contradiction with those of independent studies, and, on the other, illegally, on social networks and communication in contradiction with the statements of regulation authorities. HT is a new lure offered by the tobacco industry, intended to maintain its profits in a world that is moving away from “traditional” cigarettes. It should be strictly advised against for both non-smokers and smokers.
