Discover TEREA tobacco sticks, specially designed for IQOS ILUMA
TEREA offers a range of rich tobacco experiences, pronounced aromas, and delicate and cooling taste sensations. TEREA tobacco sticks are designed to be used only with IQOS ILUMA.
Our high-quality tobacco varieties ripen in fields in Italy, Brazil and Tanzania, among other places.
The tobacco experience with IQOS ILUMA already begins with the harvest. Selected raw materials, years of experience and expertise are the foundation of our TEREA tobacco variety.
The tobacco is gently heated instead of burned by the innovative SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM:
Experience the perfect combination of real tobacco and revolutionary technology.
TEREA tobacco sticks were specially developed for IQOS ILUMA. This is why TEREA tobacco sticks cannot be used with previous IQOS heated tobacco devices (ORIGINALS or older), as this may cause damage to the device. HEETS tobacco sticks, in turn, are not suitable for IQOS ILUMA.
TEREA offers a range of rich tobacco experiences, pronounced aromas, and delicate and cooling taste sensations.
Because DELIA tobacco sticks feature a fully sealed tobacco part they are not compatible with IQOS 3 DUO or any earlier blade generation devices. Using a DELIA stick in a adevice with blade heating technology may damage the blade.
Technology – the world revolves around it. Over the years, it has radically changed our lives for the better. The way we work, the way we communicate, the way we travel. By combining science and technology is how we developed a better alternative to continued smoking. IQOS is changing for the better the way adult smokers, who would otherwise continue to smoke, can enjoy tobacco.
IQOS heats tobacco instead of burning it for a simple reason: the burning of tobacco emits high amounts of harmful chemicals like carbon monoxide.
IQOS ILUMA SMARTCORE INDUCTION™ technology and IQOS HeatControl™ technology prevent tobacco from burning, which means they significantly reduce the number and level of harmful chemicals emitted compared to cigarette smoke.
Nicotine is a substance that occurs naturally in tobacco plants, as well as in fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, eggplants, green peppers and potatoes. Many believe that nicotine is the primary cause of smoking-related diseases. Although nicotine is addictive, studies and public health authorities have confirmed that it is not the case; rather, the primary cause of smoking-related diseases (such as cancers and heart disease) comes from the toxins and carcinogens present in cigarette smoke.
When a cigarette is lit, the tip of it burns - or, combusts - at temperatures at or above 600 degrees C, which causes a chemical reaction to occur. Combustion produces over 6,000 chemicals, and many of them are causing smoking-related diseases. This means that nicotine, while addictive, is not the primary cause of smoking-related diseases – it is combustion that causes them.
While the best course of action is to quit smoking all together, if an adult smoker doesn’t quit and is looking for an alternative for cigarettes, it is worth it to consider an option that eliminates combustion. What this means is that it is possible to find a replacement for cigarettes that can offer a tobacco and/or nicotine experience, but without the combustion and cigarette smoke.
What cigarette alternatives are available?
Today, many choices exist on the market for those looking for an alternative for cigarettes. E-cigarettes and vapes are well-known alternatives that eliminate combustion. There is also another type of product, called “heat-not-burn” or heated tobacco products. For example, in IQOS, heated tobacco devices, the tobacco used is heated but not burned. Therefore, IQOS does not produce ash or smoke.
IQOS, is a heated tobacco option on the market that is a better alternative to cigarettes. Using its unique HeatControl™ Technology, IQOS heats tobacco sticks called HEETS containing real, processed tobacco, to temperatures below 350 degrees C and a tobacco vapor is released. IQOS emits 95% less harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes.* * Important information: IQOS is not risk-free. It delivers nicotine, which is addictive.
When choosing a replacement for cigarettes, nicotine delivery and experience could play a role. Depending on the cigarette alternative selected, the way nicotine is delivered, and the experience it could provide, this may help adult smokers who would otherwise continue to smoke or use other nicotine products switch fully to the alternative and leave cigarettes behind.
So, replacing smoking cigarettes, but not the nicotine, is possible?
Yes, it is! And IQOS is one option that allows adult smokers to replace cigarettes with an alternative.
Nicotine is naturally present in the tobacco that is used in HEETS for IQOS devices. With IQOS, nicotine is delivered at very similar amounts and speeds to that of a cigarette, which allows IQOS to provide cigarette-like satisfaction to adult users**.

*”95% less” represents the average reductions in levels of a range of harmful chemicals (excluding nicotine) compared to the smoke of a reference cigarette (3R4F). It does not necessarily equal a 95% reduction in risk. See Important Information on IQOS.com
