Purposeful design innovation
IQOS heated tobacco vaping devices are only compatible with heated tobacco sticks called TEREA and HEETS, which are made from a specially selected blend of real tobacco, purposefully designed to give an authentic experience and deliver cigarette-like satisfaction.
When smoking a cigarette, around two thirds of the tobacco is used to fuel the combustion and therefore the nicotine net uptake is coming from only one third of the tobacco.
When using IQOS, no combustion takes place. The heated tobacco stick maintains its integrity and this allows you to have the same nicotine uptake using less tobacco.
The heated tobacco sticks taste different to cigarettes because the tobacco is heated rather than burned. By heating the tobacco, the true taste is released.
FAQ
The IQOS ILUMA device with TEREA tobacco sticks (“TEREA”) takes heated tobacco to the next level of tobacco experience. Its new SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ heats the tobacco from within the TEREA tobacco stick, instead of burning it, for an altogether better and cleaner experience. It continues to emit, on average, 95% lower levels of harmful chemicals than cigarettes*. Important information: It does not necessarily equal a 95% reduction in risk. IQOS is not risk-free. * Reductions in levels of a range of harmful chemicals (excluding nicotine) compared to the smoke of a reference cigarette.
The new SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ in the new IQOS ILUMA device and TEREA tobacco sticks completely reinvents the way tobacco is heated.
The heart of the new bladeless SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ is a metal heating element placed inside the TEREA tobacco stick and coated with stainless steel for seamless heating of the tobacco.
This means your tobacco is heated from the core instead of being burned for an altogether better, and cleaner experience.
No, because IQOS doesn’t burn tobacco, it doesn’t generate smoke.
No. The IQOS heats tobacco to release a vapour containing nicotine unlike e-cigarettes that vapourise a liquid containing nicotine.
TEREA sticks are designed to be used only with IQOS ILUMA, so don’t try and use TEREA sticks with blade IQOS devices because it might get damaged. That’s because the new SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ has no blade in the holder. Instead, a metal heating element sits inside the TEREA stick. You will not be able to use TEREA stick with IQOS 3 DUO blade technology.
