IQOS, developed by Philip Morris International (PMI), is a revolutionary heated tobacco device designed as an alternative to traditional cigarettes. Unlike conventional smoking, which involves burning tobacco, IQOS uses HeatControl Technology to heat specially crafted tobacco sticks (HEETS) without combustion. The result is a nicotine-containing vapor that provides a real tobacco taste without the harmful chemicals associated with cigarette smoke.
How It Works:
IQOS stands for “I Quit Ordinary Smoking,” although the name itself is a brand term created to denote an innovative product.
Unlike traditional cigarettes, IQOS doesn’t burn tobacco. Instead, it heats tobacco sticks (called HEETS or HeatSticks) to produce a nicotine-containing vapor.
The device provides a real tobacco taste without the harmful chemicals associated with cigarette smoke.
IQOS is designed to be used with HEETS tobacco sticks, which are inserted into the device and heated to release the tobacco flavor.
Advantages of IQOS:
95% less harmful chemicals: IQOS reduces exposure to harmful chemicals by approximately 95% compared to traditional cigarettes.
No ash or smoke: Since there’s no combustion, IQOS produces no ash or smoke.
Less smell: IQOS emits less odor than cigarettes.
Availability:
IQOS is sold by Philip Morris International (PMI) and has been successful in converting many smokers, especially in countries like Japan.
PMI offers a variety of IQOS-branded heated tobacco products, including the original IQOS device, IQOS ILUMA, and BONDS BY IQOS.
In the United States, IQOS received marketing authorization from the FDA and is available in select test markets. PMI plans to sell IQOS directly in the U.S. starting in 2024.
How does IQOS compare to e-cigarettes?
IQOS and e-cigarettes are both smoke-free alternatives to traditional cigarettes, but they differ significantly in terms of how they operate and the experience they provide:
IQOS (Heated Tobacco Device):
What is IQOS? IQOS is a heated tobacco device developed by Philip Morris International (PMI) that uses an innovative tobacco heating system called HeatControl Technology. Unlike cigarettes, IQOS does not burn tobacco; instead, it heats real tobacco sticks (known as HEETS or TEREA sticks) to produce tobacco vapor.
How It Works: IQOS heats tobacco sticks, releasing the taste of real tobacco without combustion. The tobacco is carefully selected, finely ground, and compressed to ensure consistency in flavor delivery.
Advantages:
-Reduced Harm: IQOS emits approximately 95% less harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes.
-No Ash or Smoke: Since there’s no burning, IQOS produces no ash or smoke.
-Tobacco Flavor: Users get a tobacco flavor experience.
Risk: While IQOS is not risk-free, it is considered a better alternative for adult smokers who want to quit smoking.

E-Cigarettes (Vapes):
What are E-Cigarettes? E-cigarettes, also known as vapes, are electronic hand-held devices that provide a smoke-free alternative to cigarettes. They work by vaporizing e-liquids (flavored liquids) using a battery-powered heating element.
Components of E-Cigarettes:
-Battery: Powers the device.
-Tank or Pod: Stores the e-liquid.
-Heating Element: Vaporizes the liquid.
-Mouthpiece: Where the vaporized liquid is drawn from.
E-Liquids: E-liquids may contain nicotine and various flavors.
Advantages:
-Customization: Users can choose from various flavors and nicotine strengths.
-No Smoke: E-cigarettes do not produce smoke.
Risk: While considered less harmful than smoking, the long-term effects of vaping are still being studied.
Key Differences:
Tobacco vs. E-Liquid: IQOS heats real tobacco, while e-cigarettes vaporize e-liquids.
Experience: IQOS provides a tobacco flavor experience, while e-cigarettes offer a variety of flavors.
Chemical Composition: IQOS emits tobacco vapor, whereas e-cigarettes produce an aerosol from e-liquids.
Usage: IQOS uses specific tobacco sticks, while e-cigarettes use refillable or disposable cartridges.
