So these relieve cravings without nicotine?
Do they have the or other bad things?
You're still breathing smoke which causes cancers right?
The lab results mention high PYRETHRINS level. How bad is that?
Is 100ppb of lead bad?

Almost all of the bad stuff in cigarette smoke aren't specific to tobacco, for example tar and carbon-monoxide. Nicotine is bad because it creates a strong addiction, but "apart from that" afaik there's not much to it (still weakens the heart, probably on levels similar to coffee or tea). Most of the physical damage is done by repeatedly inhaling smoke (aggravated by highly incomplete combustion).
Don’t disagree with any of that. But breaking the addiction is step one, no?
That's what nicotine treatment is for.
If someone has already broken the nicotine addiction, why would they need to smoke non-nicotine?
These things seem to have none of the benefits of cigarettes.

Part of what makes breaking the addiction so difficult is the habit of smoking + oral fixation, so this is meant to be used in conjunction with NRT

They help with nicotine cravings. But yes you hit on an important point, smoking anything is still bad and combustion creates harmful byproducts regardless of the inputs.
The pyrethrins are actually plant based so not bad...we were concerned about that at first as well!
Good Q on the lead, I suspect that it’s far far below any concerning threshold but will double back with an answer
