• What kind of product is IQOS?

  IQOS is an alternative for adult smokers who would otherwise continue to smoke and want to enjoy real tobacco taste without many of the inconveniences of cigarettes, such as ash or smoke. It is not for people who have quit smoking or have never smoked. 

  IQOS is our most advanced smoke-free product that uses sophisticated electronics to heat tobacco instead of burning it to release a flavourful nicotine containing vapour.

  IQOS and tobacco sticks are not for minors (under 18 years). Please refer to Important Information section for details.

  No.  IQOS is not a smoking cessation device or intended as a device to quit smoking.  

  If you are concerned about the health effects of smoking, your best option is to quit tobacco use altogether.

IQOS HEATED TOBACCO DEVICE

• What types of substances does the aerosol contain?

  Because tobacco is only heated and not burned, the IQOS system does not create smoke, but rather aerosol which consists primarily of water, glycerol and nicotine. Compared to cigarette smoke, the IQOS system significantly reduces the level of harmful and potentially harmful substances in the aerosol inhaled by the user. However, using an IQOS device is not risk-free and the best way to reduce the health risks related to tobacco is to stop using tobacco products entirely.
