Why One Should Not Combine IQOS ILUMA with Cigarettes

If you were smoking cigarettes for a long time and started using IQOS ILUMA, the experience might seem a little unusual for you in the beginning. 


WHY? 🧐

Satisfaction comes from nicotine, and the level of nicotine is completely proportional to the level of nicotine in cigarettes and directly depends on the intensity of absorption.
