Over a decade of development and billions invested
IQOS is a product worth switching to.
The best of tobacco meets the best of technology.
Technology - the world revolves around it. Over the years, it has radically changed. And with IQOS it has changed the way we enjoy tobacco.
But technology goes hand-in-hand with science. We couldn't have created IQOS without it. This perfect combination of both science and technology is how we developed a better alternative to smoking.
Heating vs. burning
Heating tobacco, rather than burning it, may seem like a small change - but it redefines tobacco satisfaction. When you light a cigarette, the tobacco burns at more than 800°C at the tip, creating smoke and ash. IQOS heats tobacco to a temperature up to 350°C, releasing the true tobacco flavour and nicotine without burning the tobacco.
IQOS HeatControl™ Technology
IQOS HeatControl™ Technology is a specially designed and patented technology that monitors and controls the temperature of the IQOS heating blade. The heating blade is made of ceramic incorporating platinum, gold and silver tracks. Through IQOS HeatControl™ Technology, the tobacco heats to the ideal temperature for 14 puffs or around 6 minutes (whichever comes first) ensuring a consistent tobacco flavour without burning.
HEETS™
Open up a pack of HEETS™ and you'll find they're much shorter compared to cigarettes.
When you light a cigarette, the combination of oxygen and tobacco is what keeps your cigarette lit, burning the tobacco. This provides the energy source needed to extract nicotine and flavor. When smoking a cigarette, you lose most of the tobacco (⅔rds to exact) through the process of burning.
IQOS HeatControl™ Technology uses a heating blade to heat the tobacco inside our specially designed tobacco stick - and this replaces the tobacco that is wasted in a cigarette. So you get the enjoyment of all that real tobacco in your tobacco stick… but without wasting it.
