Fake tobacco vaporisers a health risk, warns Ploom
A US manufacturer of tobacco vaporisers and e-cigarettes has warned that counterfeit copies of its products could be harmful. San Francisco-based Ploom has developed portable vaporisers – colloquially known as ‘vapes’ – that heat rather than burn tobacco and markets them as a “redefinition” of tobacco use. Unlike e-cigarette products these products use real tobacco rather than liquid nicotine. The firm is careful not to make any claims for the products in terms of being healthier than smoking or a way to quit the habit, for fear of falling foul of health claim regulations, but notes that the product produces no smoke.
