  • E-cigarette:

The inventor of the highly innovative e-cigarette, Ruyan V8, Hon Lik dedicates his endeavor to his late father who died of lung cancer due to excessive smoking. The device electronically heats the compounds to produce vapors for inhalation. The device contains propylene glycol (PG) which carries nicotine, giving a traditional smoke experience. The thin and long design also resembles that of a traditional cigarette.

  • Sub-Ohm coil:

As the industry continued to innovate in delivering lesser harmful tobacco products, the Sub-Ohm coil emerged as an even better option than the e-cigarettes. The coil works by heating a more viscous liquid at a higher power wattage. It has a lower nicotine content with higher vegetable glycerine (VG) to PG ratio. The Sub-Ohm coil received instant acceptance from smoke enthusiasts as it features a considerable reduction in throat irritation. Combined with traditional tobacco and menthol flavors, it offers a delightful smoke experience. Also, big clouds of exhaled vapor make the experience even more exciting.

  • Nicotine salts:

Nicotine salts provide greater nicotine absorption in the body compared to e-cigarettes. Nicotine salts stay in the inhaled vape aerosol until they reach the smoker’s lungs. They absorb faster into the lungs, giving a more traditional cigarette-like smoke experience, compared to e-cigarettes.

  • Pod system:

The Sub-Ohm coil revolutionized the tobacco products industry. This gave way for further innovation in the vaping category. People started demanding bigger tanks to store larger quantities of e-liquid as the coils vaporize the liquid very quickly. Hence, the pods came as a quick rescue. It delivers a great quality experience, coupled with absolute convenience. A hassle-free option, the pod systems became a popular smoking sensation.

  • Heated tobacco:

As we head towards a smoke-free world, heat-not-burn tobacco is gaining immense popularity. Burning and inhaling smoke is extremely dangerous for health, causing many diseases such as lung cancer, bronchitis, and heart diseases. Hence, innovative tobacco companies worked on a better way to consume nicotine. That is, by heating the tobacco and not burning it to release nicotine and other flavors. Heated tobacco has become a fashion trend in many countries. Japan witnessed a massive drop in traditional smoking as adults switched to the heated tobacco option.

Tobacco product manufacturers identified a market opportunity in the fast-growing heated tobacco category. Especially there is a lot of room for innovation for device manufacturers. Companies started to launch new and better devices with improved features with every latest model. Durable batteries, rubber caps, and an in-built cleaning facility are some of the most desired features in smoke devices. Many companies stay ahead of competitors by focusing on delivering a superior customer experience through amazing features. This includes the recent phenomenon of puff sensors. Also, a pre-notification to indicate the end of the tobacco stick adds to customer convenience. Successful companies look for innovative ways of manufacturing that are eco-friendly as well. For example, some devices feature different power modes that help conserve energy. Moreover, such attributes lead to long-lasting battery life, benefitting the consumer as well. Different battery modes render a variety of user inhalation experiences.

Another revolutionary tobacco product is the heated tobacco stick. Surrounded by aluminum foil, the sticks ensure that they only heat and do not burn. Equipped with the latest technology such as triple bores in the filter create a flawlessly intense smoke experience. For further flavor enhancements, crush balls release bursts of mint and menthol. This product category also calls for a lot of innovation and development.

Innovation in the tobacco processing industry: 

Be it traditional tobacco products or contemporary ones, innovation is made to the best use to deliver a superior consumer experience. For example, the use of AI to detect tobacco width and defects in cigarette packets helps improve efficiency by speeding up the manufacturing processes. It also provides data for long-term quality control and improvement across the various processing functions.

The use of technology to provide a digital flavoring platform is a novel concept that is fast gaining popularity. By integrating the physical database of raw materials aroma with the digital flavoring system, the manufacturers develop the most innovative cigarette products. Linking key features such as chemical composition, flavorings and enhancements, fragrance, and others to digital designs has helped evolve the largest tobacco processing industry over the recent past. Using data-driven technology, the manufacturers continue to transform not only the smoking experience but also the product design.
