Heated Tobacco

Heated tobacco products work by gently heating real tobacco to create vapour while generating no smoke or ash in the process. Also known as 'heat not burn', these products are popular as a first step away from conventional cigarettes.

About Heated Tobacco

Heat-not-burn tobacco is a new way of using tobacco that does not involve burning it. Instead, it uses a device that heats the tobacco to a lower temperature, producing a vapour that contains nicotine and flavour. Unlike cigarettes, heat-not-burn tobacco does not create smoke or ash, which reduces the exposure to harmful chemicals and the environmental impact.

Heat-not-burn tobacco is popular in the UK for several reasons. First, it is seen as a safer alternative to smoking, as it reduces the risk of smoking-related diseases and deaths. According to a study by Public Health England, heat-not-burn tobacco is likely to be less harmful than cigarettes, and could help smokers quit or switch to less harmful products.

Second, it is appealing to smokers who want to enjoy the taste and sensation of tobacco, without the drawbacks of smoking. Heated tobacco products come in different flavours and strengths, and can be used in places where smoking is banned or restricted. Some users also prefer the design and convenience of heat-not-burn devices, which are sleek and easy to use.

Third, it is supported by the UK government and health authorities, who recognise the potential benefits of heat-not-burn tobacco for public health. The UK has a progressive approach to tobacco harm reduction, and allows the sale and promotion of heated tobacco products, unlike some other countries. The UK also provides guidance and information for consumers and health professionals on heat-not-burn tobacco.

IQOS

Our IQOS collection consists of the IQOS Originals Duo, compatible with HEETS tobacco sticks. This device includes a pen and a charging case to store your pen when not in use and refuel it for your next session. The Originals Duo provides two consecutive uses, meaning you can use two HEETS sticks without recharging your pen. Each session lasts around 14 puffs, translating to 6 minutes per stick. The pen has an integrated ceramic blade which penetrates the tobacco stick in order to heat it, which leads to an aerosol being produced. The HEETS sticks contain IQOS' renowned tobacco blends, solely for use with the IQOS Originals Duo, and they are available in 10 different flavours ranging from citrus concoctions to toasty tobacco fusions.

The IQOS Iluma is an upgraded version of the Originals Duo that features new Smartcore technology. If you're not sure what that means, the IQOS Iluma is now bladeless, creating a mess-free experience with little-to-no clean-up! The Iluma uses a charging case, much like the Originals Duo; however, the IQOS Iluma One houses the same features as the Iluma but in an all-in-one format. This means there is no charging case to deal with - simply charge your kit with the cable provided and get started! Both Iluma devices utilise TEREA sticks, an improved version of HEETS. Housing the same authentic flavours, TEREA tobacco sticks now have a built-in metal element that goes hand-in-hand with the Smartcore mechanism on both devices, enabling a clean heated tobacco journey!

Ploom

The Ploom X Advanced device features an ergonomic, pebble-shaped design that boosts its portability factor and an intuitive mechanism keeps you in the loop- you'll know when your session is about to end or when your kit needs recharging. The Ploom X Advanced utilises HeatFlow technology to achieve the highest possible temperature without leading to burning. EVO tobacco sticks are the compatible product for this device, and they are available in 12 flavours that range from crisp menthol to fruity tobacco blends. Some of these flavours are from the 'Option' range, meaning they have a crush-ball mechanism that allows you to manually release the infusion into the stick.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is heated tobacco safer than cigarettes?
 

While we don't recommend the use of heated tobacco products by anyone who doesn't already smoke or vape, studies have shown that heat-not-burn is 95% less harmful than smoking cigarettes. This is because heated tobacco products are known to heat tobacco at significantly lower temperatures, which eliminates the damaging chemicals and health implications caused by combustion (burning).

Does heated tobacco smell?
 

Heat-not-burn products produce a very subtle tobacco smell; however, it's nowhere near as strong as the smell of traditional cigarettes. This is because heated tobacco generates an aerosol that is the by-product of gradual heating, whereas burning cigarettes creates potent smoke.

Is heating tobacco the same as vaping?
 

Vape kits atomise e-liquids, turning them from liquid state to vapour. Heated tobacco products heat real tobacco at a specific temperature to prevent burning. Therefore, vaping and heat-not-burn are not the same, although they're both effective ways to wean yourself off smoking.
