Cigarettes also contain tobacco that has been exposed to carbon dioxide to act as a cigarette filler.

The use of electronic cigarettes (vaping) carries many health risks, especially for children, young adults, and pregnant women. The risk depends on the composition of electronic cigarette aerosol, varies according to the contents of the liquid, the physical and electrical design of the device, and user behavior. As of 2019, the long-term risks of vaping are uncertain because it is a relatively new technology, although the long-term risks of some individual substances in vaping aerosols have been studied. In United Kingdom vaping is considered to be around 95% less harmful than tobacco in a landmark review by Public Health of England.
A heated tobacco product (HTP) is a tobacco product that heats the tobacco at a lower temperature than conventional cigarettes. These products contain nicotine, which is a highly addictive chemical. The heat generates an aerosol or smoke to be inhaled from the tobacco, which contains nicotine and other chemicals. HTPs may also contain additives not found in tobacco, including flavoring chemicals. HTPs generally heat tobacco to temperatures under 600 °C (1100 °F), a lower temperature than conventional cigarettes. HTPs use embedded or external heat sources, heated sealed chambers, or product-specific customized cigarettes. Whereas e-cigarettes are electronic devices that vaporize a liquid containing nicotine, HTPs usually use tobacco in leaf or some other solid form, although there are some hybrid products that can use both solid tobacco and e-liquids. There are various types of HTPs. The two most common designs are those that use an electric battery to heat tobacco leaf and those that use a carbon ember that is lit and then heats the tobacco. There are similar devices that heat cannabis instead of tobacco.
