Traditional cigarettes burn tobacco at 800°C. The result is smoke, ash and cigarette smell. Since IQOS heats and does not burn tobacco, there is no smoke or ash! What IQOS heats up is HEETS, our own specially-designed tobacco sticks. HEETS are much shorter than cigarettes and are placed in the IQOS device to release the true taste of real tobacco. With IQOS, nothing goes to waste. It’s all about pure pleasure!
First, there’s no fire to deal with, which means there is no ash for you to clean up. You won’t need to worry about having an ashtray nearby, getting ash all over your furniture, or dropping ash on the floor. You can rejoice at this fact because this means that IQOS cannot burn you or the people around you. Even your animals will be safe! All you need to do is focus on your tobacco moment.
Another advantage of IQOS is that there is no smoke. Instead, a quickly dissipating aerosol comes out of the device, leaving barely a trace. Say goodbye to smoke clouds in your bedroom or always looking for the nearest window to let in some fresh air. IQOS makes sure that smoke does not disturb the environment you’re in. So you’re free to enjoy it when you want and where you want (all while respecting local laws, of course!).
A third advantage IQOS has over cigarettes is that there is negligible smell. That means no more cigarette smell on your clothing, your car, your hair, or that favourite fabric couch you own. You won’t need to worry about lugging around a pleasant perfume or cologne to mask the smell of your last cigarette. Those days are gone. There are only stress-free smoking days ahead!

On top of taste satisfaction, the IQOS design is also worth mentioning. It has an ergonomic and compact design that you can bring anywhere. Plus, it has an IQOS Protect Plus™ System that adds reliable protection to your device with a robust outer shell and longer battery life.
