The IQOS ™ system is a revolutionary electronic device with advanced temperature regulation software. The IQOS ™ device heats the tobacco contained in the HeatStick to a controlled temperature. Consequently an aerosol is generated which releases the authentic taste of tobacco without generating smoke or combustion, without ash and with less odor than cigarettes.
The IQOS holder contains a special heating blade in gold and platinum, coated in ceramic, and contains cutting-edge electronic parts that regulate the heat for a constant experience. Only IQOS directly heats the tobacco from the inside thanks to the exclusive heating blade, without burning the paper.
The foil maintains the temperature of the tobacco constant for a full satisfaction of the taste from the beginning to the end.
The symbol of the crossed-out wheelie bin depicted on the electrical and electronic equipment or on the packaging of the same indicates that the user must not dispose of the equipment at the end of its useful life, as mixed urban waste but will have to separate waste by conferring the equipment itself at the appropriate separate waste collection centers, or return it to the retailer when purchasing a new equivalent type of equipment.
On iqos.com you can find a guide that collects useful information about how to travel with your heated tobacco device. Discover tips and tricks on how to use and transport IQOS devices and specially designed sticks during your trip.

IQOS is an electronic device and should be used with the same level of attention as other similar devices such as, for example, smartphones.
You need to protect IQOS from rain (as it is not waterproof), direct sunlight and heat. Do not leave IQOS in a very hot place for a long time, for example, inside the car. Otherwise, the electronic components may stop working or suffer significant damage. The IQOS holder must always be completely dry before inserting it into the pocket charger.
In general, all IQOS devices are not designed to be wet, immersed in any liquid, exposed to the sun. Therefore, in the event that the device no longer lights up or does not work properly, the warranty will not cover this type of damage. However, please contact us at our Customer Service or visit one of our service points to see if you have a Care Plus replacement for accidental damage to the IQOS CLUB program.
However, we strongly recommend that you take care of the IQOS device and always keep it within the operating temperature range.

No, IQOS devices are designed to be used exclusively with the respective specially designed tobacco sticks. Specifically, IQOS ILUMA can only be used with TEREA SMARTCORE STICKS to achieve an optimal experience. IQOS devices with foil, such as IQOS 3 DUO and earlier models, are designed to work exclusively with HEETS tobacco sticks.
IQOS ILUMA devices (including batteries) should not be disposed of with other household waste.
It is therefore necessary to dispose of the waste equipment by delivering it to a collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
In addition, waste equipment (including batteries) can be returned free of charge to the point of sale when a new electrical and electronic equipment is supplied.
Waste equipment may in any case be returned free of charge to outlets with a retail area of at least 400 m2 of electrical and electronic equipment ("EEE").
