IQOS Heated Tobacco Devices

IQOS heated tobacco devices represent a significant advancement in smoking alternatives, offering a unique experience for adult smokers. These devices, developed by Philip Morris International, are engineered to heat specially designed tobacco sticks, without burning them. This innovative technology produces a nicotine-containing vapour, providing the satisfaction of smoking but with fewer harmful chemicals compared to traditional cigarettes. The IQOS range includes various models like the IQOS Originals DUO, known for its dual-use capability and rapid charging, and the new ILUMA and ILUMA One, which feature cutting-edge Smart Core Induction System™ technology for a cleaner and more consistent experience.

IQOS Tobacco Sticks

The tobacco sticks available for IQOS devices come in two primary types: HEETS and TEREA.

HEETS are specially designed tobacco sticks that, when used with IQOS devices, heat tobacco to release a flavourful vapour containing nicotine. They offer a variety of taste experiences ranging from rich and robust to smooth and mellow, catering to diverse preferences.

TEREA is a newer innovation, compatible specifically with the IQOS ILUMA series. These sticks are designed to work seamlessly with the ILUMA's bladeless technology, providing a consistent and cleaner experience.

Both HEETS and TEREA sticks are integral to the IQOS experience, allowing adult smokers to enjoy the taste of tobacco without the smoke, ash, and less smell associated with traditional cigarettes. This range of tobacco sticks underscores IQOS's commitment to offering adult smokers alternative ways to enjoy tobacco with innovative technology.
