Debunking the Myths – Five Things to Know About IQOS ILUMA Heat Not Burn
-
Heats Instead of Burns: The SMART INDUCTION SYSTEM™ heats the TEREA stick to a lower temperature (less than 350°C) ensuring no burning and no smoke production. This is the foundational difference between cigarettes and IQOS, as cigarettes combust at around 800°C.
-
Reduced Harmful Chemicals: Cigarette smoke contains over 6,000 chemicals, around 100 of which are linked to smoking-related diseases. By removing the burning process, IQOS produces 95% lower levels of harmful chemicals compared to cigarette smoke. *
*“95% less” represents the average reduction in levels of a range of harmful chemicals (excluding nicotine) compared to the smoke of a reference cigarette. See Important Information on iqos.co.nz
-
No Smoke, Ash, or Tar: IQOS does not produce smoke, ash, or tar because it heats instead of burns. The aerosol residue is fundamentally different from tar, resulting in a cleaner experience.
-
Less Smell: Given IQOS produces a vapour due to heating instead of burning, there is no nasty cigarette-like smell produced.
Switching to IQOS can significantly reduce exposure to harmful chemicals and provide a cleaner smokefree experience compared to traditional cigarettes.
