How does IQOS ILUMA heat the tobacco?

The innovative SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ in IQOS ILUMA and TEREA completely changes the way tobacco is heated. Inside the new bladeless SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ is an innovative heating element located inside the TEREA stick and coated in stainless steel to heat the tobacco smoothly. This means your tobacco is heated from the inside rather than being burned. Plus, IQOS ILUMA emits significantly lower levels of harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes*.

*Reductions in levels of the 9 harmful chemicals the World Health Organization recommends to reduce in cigarette smoke, which do not include nicotine. See Important Information on IQOS.am
