How to use our
heated tobacco
technology
When you insert a SMARTCORE tobacco stick into your IQOS ILUMA, the SMARTCORE technology inside your device cleverly heats the stick from its core without burning it. A controlled process, it unlocks the taste of real tobacco and delivers a cigarette-like experience* for up to 6 minutes, or 14 puffs (whichever comes first).
*3 months clinical studies conducted in US and Japan with 160 adult smokers each under real conditions.
