How does IQOS work as a tobacco heater?
A tobacco heater—in English, an HTP (heated tobacco product)—is an electronic device designed to heat specially designed sticks from the inside without burning them.
Unlike a traditional cigarette that burns tobacco at high temperatures, heated tobacco devices avoid combustion, delivering the true taste of tobacco, without combustion and without ash.

Frequently asked questions about heated tobacco with IQOS
What is a tobacco heater?
A tobacco heater is an electronic device designed to heat tobacco sticks at a controlled temperature without burning them. Thanks to induction technology, heated tobacco produces a vapor containing nicotine.
What is the difference between heated tobacco, e-cigarettes and cigarettes?
- Tobacco heaters are designed to heat tobacco sticks inside at a controlled temperature without burning them, unlike regular cigarettes.
- E-cigarettes vaporize liquids (e-liquids), often containing nicotine, an addictive substance, together with flavorings and other ingredients.
- Traditional cigarettes burn tobacco at high temperatures, generating combustion and ash through full combustion.
How do you use an IQOS tobacco heater?
IQOS tobacco heaters work by inserting the specially designed stick into the device. The stick is heated internally at a lower temperature than cigarette combustion, producing a vapor that can be inhaled.
The IQOS product line includes several models of tobacco heaters, and each device works in a specific way; all follow the same principle: heat tobacco without burning it. Choose your device and find out how to get the most out of it.
