IQOS is in Armenia for 5 years! 

During this period full of challenges, but also a number of successes, IQOS has become a household name for many adult nicotine products users, associated with the idea of change, the future and a better choice compared to smoking.¹

There are already 13.2 million IQOS users worldwide who have given up cigarettes. In Armenia, it is estimated that the same number is close to 100.000, meaning that a large community of adult nicotine products users have formed in our country, who have made a better choice and are one step closer to a smoke-free future.

Moving to the recent past, let's recall the path of IQOS in Armenia.

Tobacco Heating Devices: From IQOS 2.4 PLUS To IQOS ORIGINALS DUO

IQOS 2.4 PLUS was the first tobacco heating device presented in Armenia, with the help of which the category of smoke-free alternatives became available in our market.

After a short time, 2.4 PLUS was replaced by Multi, 3.0, 3.0 DUO and ORIGINALS DUO. Each new generation device differs from the previous one in its improved heating technology, offering a larger variety styles and color combinations, and not only that.

Over the past 5 years, we have also introduced to you limited-edition devices, such as The We Edition, with its distinctive and unique outlook.

The Selection of HEETS

Along with IQOS devices, we have also frequently updated the HEETS tobacco heatsticks range in an effort to create a wide selection of flavor discoveries for you.

In 2018, only 3 types of HEETS were represented in Armenia: Amber, Yellow and Turquoise. Currently, the HEETS portfolio consists of 6 main types: Bronze, Amber, Yellow, Silver, Turquoise and Purple Wave.

We also had seasonal, limited-edition HEETS like Summer Breeze and premium heatsticks called HEETS Dimensions.

And of course, this is not all. Some interesting news to be expected soon.
