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.
When thinking of Philip Morris International, most people probably think of “tobacco company” or “cigarette manufacturer”. However, over the last decade, we have evolved beyond only producing cigarettes.
In fact, we have made it our mission to replace cigarettes with smoke-free products as soon and fast as possible. There is no doubt never starting to smoke or quitting altogether is the best option. However, adult smokers who want to continue using tobacco should know that not all tobacco containing products are the same. We strongly believe that our smoke-free products are a better alternative than continued smoking for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke or use other nicotine products. And that is why we are transforming our company and building our future on replacing cigarettes with smoke-free alternatives.
How did heated tobacco products get started?
The history of heated tobacco products dates back decades. The idea of heating tobacco instead of burning it has been around since the 1980’s. However, the first heated tobacco brands, along with their heated tobacco products, failed to offer a suitable alternative for adult smokers.
How did IQOS get started as a heated tobacco brand?
At Philip Morris International, we want to provide over a billion adult smokers all over the world who do not quit smoking with better options than continued smoking. And that is how IQOS, our heated tobacco system, got started.
The first IQOS devices date back to 2014, when the innovative heat-not-burn alternative was launched in Japan and Italy. Gradually, IQOS rolled out to other countries and is available now in 51 countries.
However, the history of IQOS dates back to 2008, when Philip Morris International first started working towards providing alternatives for smoking. Our commitment is the result of many years of careful deliberation, backed up by a substantial research and development program.
IQOS is part of our portfolio of smoke-free products, for which PMI invested over USD 6 billion and more than 10 years of research and product development. At the same time, more than 400 scientists and engineers collaborated on the development and assessment of smoke-free products.
So far, more than 10.6 million adult smokers have chosen to switch to IQOS and leave cigarettes behind*. And it’s no wonder! There are many reasons for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke or use other nicotine products to make the decision for IQOS. It delivers the true taste of real tobacco without fire, ash and cigarette smoke smell. IQOS also emits 95% less harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes**. Important information: It does not necessarily equal a 95% reduction in risk. IQOS is not risk-free. All these benefits are what ultimately make IQOS a better choice than continued smoking.
If you’d also like to leave smoke behind and join the IQOS community, discover our IQOS 3 DUO. You can find all of our heated tobacco devices in IQOS online shop on TOTERS TOTERS or in any of our IQOS stores. To find an IQOS store near you, use the Store Locator on our website.
