TEREA IQOS Iluma Sticks New Flavours

To initiate the process, the user activates the heater by pressing a button. They then inhale from the heated tobacco unit, savouring the genuine flavour and satisfaction of heated tobacco. Upon completing the heated tobacco unit, it can be safely discarded in a waste bin after removal from the holder. Following each session, the user replenishes the holder's energy by inserting it into the charger.

The heated tobacco unit contains a specially processed tobacco plug designed for heating, not for traditional smoking. This tobacco plug is crafted from tobacco leaves that undergo grinding and reconstitution to form tobacco sheets known as cast-leaf.

The holder, which accommodates the heated tobacco unit, employs an electronically controlled heating blade to heat the tobacco. Simultaneously, this blade raises the tobacco's temperature to a maximum of 350°C while closely monitoring the temperature to maintain a consistent flavour profile and prevent combustion. Furthermore, the holder incorporates a safeguard mechanism to deactivate itself in the event of overheating.

The heating blade within the holder supplies warmth to the heated tobacco unit for a duration of either six minutes or 14 inhalations, depending on which limit is reached first.

After each use of the original three-component heating system with the small battery-equipped holder, recharging is necessary. This is achieved by connecting the holder to the charger. In the case of the combined version, charging is required after ten uses. The charger itself can be recharged through household electrical outlets.

TEREA are Heated Tobacco Sticks made from real tobacco for use in IQOS Iluma devices. They work by heating the tobacco inside the stick instead of burning them. This provides the release similar to that of a conventional cigarette but without the burning of tobacco.

Distinctions Between IQOS and Smoking: Is Heated Tobacco Safer?

In comparing cigarettes to IQOS, it's essential to grasp their differences, particularly in assessing safety. This understanding empowers adult smokers to weigh the potential benefits of transitioning to IQOS against the risks associated with continued smoking.

Diving into the nuances between cigarettes and IQOS, let's explore our latest innovation, the IQOS ILUMA heated tobacco system. This exploration unveils its divergence from earlier IQOS 3 DUO models and sheds light on its potential safety advantages.

Heating vs. Burning: A Safer Alternative
Unlike cigarettes, IQOS ILUMA eschews tobacco combustion, resulting in smoke-free operation. Employing Smartcore Induction Technology, IQOS ILUMA heats tobacco without burning it, delivering authentic tobacco flavor. Making a complete switch to IQOS ILUMA mitigates health risks compared to sustained smoking.* Emitting 95% fewer harmful chemicals than cigarettes,** IQOS ILUMA embodies a safer alternative.

*Based on a comprehensive review comparing IQOS to continued smoking.
**The "95% less" signifies the average reduction in levels of 9 chemicals recommended for reduction in cigarette smoke by the World Health Organization, excluding nicotine. This does not necessarily indicate a 95% risk reduction. Refer to Important Information on IQOS.com.

TEREA and HEETS serve as consumables for IQOS products. While both contain tobacco, HEETS are compatible with IQOS 3 DUO and earlier models, while TEREA sticks complement IQOS ILUMA. Contrasting TEREA and HEETS with cigarettes, tobacco is heated, not burned, in IQOS devices.

No Smoke, No Ash: A Cleaner Experience
As part of the IQOS series, including the cutting-edge IQOS ILUMA, tobacco heating precludes smoke generation, unlike conventional cigarettes. While cigarettes emit smoke, IQOS ILUMA emits tobacco vapour, significantly reducing harmful chemical emissions.* This renders IQOS ILUMA smoke-free, sparing bystanders from second-hand smoke exposure.

Additionally, IQOS ILUMA eliminates the risk of ash production, preventing incidental burns to surroundings or clothing.

Less Odour, Less Staining: A Pleasant Alternative
IQOS ILUMA further stands out in the IQOS vs. cigarettes debate due to its minimal odour output.* Emitting less odour than cigarettes, IQOS ILUMA is less likely to cause discomfort to bystanders.

Exploring another benefit of IQOS ILUMA, its impact on teeth staining is noteworthy. Unlike cigarettes, IQOS ILUMA leaves significantly fewer stains on teeth.* Additionally, IQOS ILUMA eliminates finger staining associated with traditional smoking.

Important information: IQOS ILUMA will not reverse existing teeth stains.

*Non-clinical laboratory research conducted in Switzerland with IQOS aerosol on human teeth and dental composites. Results may vary in real-world conditions.

Smoke-free products are not devoid of risks and contain addictive nicotine. They are not cessation aids. The optimal choice for adult smokers is to quit tobacco and nicotine use altogether.

Cleaning is no longer required with the IQOS ILUMA line, thanks to the bladeless SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ that houses the metal heating element in the TEREA stick, preventing any residue within the ILUMA device.
