Frequently Asked Questions

IQOS is a better alternative to traditional cigarettes for adult smokers who would otherwise continue to smoke and want to experience real tobacco taste without many of the inconveniences of cigarettes, such as ash or smoke. It is not for people who have quit smoking or have never smoked. IQOS is Philip Morris International’s most advanced smoke-free product that uses sophisticated electronics to heat tobacco instead of burning it to release nicotine containing tobacco vapor. IQOS and HEETS tobacco sticks are only for use by adults. Please refer to Important Information for details.

IQOS has been designed to work exclusively with HEETS tobacco sticks, and vice versa.

It is only by using both together that you can take full advantage that the system provides and have been proven by PMI science.

All Philip Morris International studies are based on the use of IQOS with HEETS tobacco sticks.

No. While switching completely to IQOS is a better choice than continuing to smoke cigarettes, IQOS is not risk-free and delivers nicotine, which is addictive. The best option is to quit tobacco and nicotine use altogether.

IQOS is a better alternative to cigarettes because it heats tobacco instead of burning it. It provides real tobacco taste without fire, ash or cigarette smoke, and less smell than cigarettes.
IQOS is less likely to bother those around you and leaves less lingering smell on hands, hair and clothes than cigarettes.

No, IQOS does not produce smoke because it does not burn tobacco. It generates a tobacco vapor that is what you see when using IQOS. 

No. IQOS is not a smoking cessation device or intended as a device to quit smoking.  

If you are concerned about the health effects of smoking, your best option is to quit tobacco use altogether.

Nicotine is addictive. However, it is not the main cause of smoking related diseases. IQOS delivers nicotine in a comparable way to cigarettes. PMI’s clinical studies show that the amount and rate of nicotine absorbed when using one HEETS™ stick with IQOS is comparable to that of smoking one cigarette.

PMI uses PMI Financials or estimates, IQOS user panels and PMI Market Research. The number of total users PMI reports refers to IQOS users for whom PMI HeatSticks represent at least 5% of their daily tobacco consumption over the past 7 days, while the number of people PMI estimates have completely quit cigarette smoking refers to IQOS users who have completely quit cigarettes and for whom PMI HeatSticks represent at least 70% of their past 7-day heated tobacco consumption.

It is a cigarette independently designed by the University of Kentucky in the US for scientific research purposes. It is a comparator commonly used in tobacco research, which allows the data of a given study to be compared to that of another study. 3R4F research cigarettes are not commercially available to consumers.

The FDA or Food and Drug Administration is a federal agency within the United States Department of Health and Human Services, one of the United States federal executive departments. The FDA is responsible for regulating the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products in the US.

After reviewing the scientific evidence on IQOS, the US FDA authorized the marketing order of IQOS, concluding that:
The IQOS system heats tobacco but does not burn it.
The absence of combustion significantly reduces the production of harmful or potentially harmful chemicals.
Switching completely to IQOS reduces your body’s exposure to harmful or potentially harmful chemicals*.

Important information: IQOS is not risk-free. It delivers nicotine, which is addictive.

MRTP stands for Modified Risk Tobacco Product.

On July 7, 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized IQOS, along with three different HeatSticks variants, to be marketed in the US with a claim of reduced exposure to harmful chemicals. This makes IQOS the first and only tobacco heating system that has completed the Modified Risk Tobacco Product application process in the US with reduced exposure information.

The US FDA decisions came after several years of reviews of all of the scientific evidence available on IQOS. Between the opening and the closure of the scientific review, the FDA asked 86 questions related to the applications, seeking clarifications or additional data.

The FDA, or the Food and Drug Administration, is the government agency in the United States responsible for protecting the public health. The FDA regulates a variety of consumer products, including tobacco. However, US law expressly prohibits making any claims, express or implied, that a tobacco product is “FDA approved,” as the statutory standards applicable to tobacco products are not intended to show, among other things, that a tobacco product is “safe” or “effective” (i.e., the standards applicable to drugs and medical devices) given that all tobacco products are not risk-free. Instead, the FDA authorizes (or not), the marketing of tobacco products as “modified risk tobacco products” in the US when they are intended to be sold with exposure modification or risk modification claims.

Philip Morris International submitted a set of MRTP applications for the IQOS system. After thorough reviews, the FDA issued a modified exposure order recognizing that IQOS “significantly reduces the production of harmful or potentially harmful chemicals” and that “switching completely from conventional cigarettes to the IQOS system significantly reduces your body’s exposure to harmful or potentially harmful chemicals*.

Important information: IQOS is not risk-free. It delivers nicotine, which is addictive.

*Source: PMI 3-month reduced exposure studies conducted in Japan and the US in near real-world conditions. These studies measured exposure to 15 harmful chemicals, and compared the levels observed in smokers who switched to IQOS with levels measured in smokers who continued to smoke cigarettes.

The US FDA decision, authorizing IQOS to be marketed with a reduced exposure information, show that IQOS is a fundamentally different product compared to cigarettes. IQOS is a better choice for adults who would otherwise continue smoking. Unlike cigarettes, the IQOS system heats tobacco instead of burning it. This significantly reduces the production of harmful or potentially harmful chemicals compared to cigarette smoke. Furthermore, scientific studies have shown that switching completely from cigarettes to IQOS significantly reduces the body’s exposure to harmful or potentially harmful chemicals.*

Similar to IQOS heat-not-burn system, vaping products are smoke-free alternatives to continued smoking. However, there are also important differences between the two. E-cigarettes don’t contain tobacco. Instead, they heat an e-liquid containing nicotine and flavors to produce an aerosol.
So far, no vaping product has been authorized for marketing by the US FDA.
The IQOS system is the first and only tobacco heating system that has completed the Modified Risk Tobacco Product application process in the US with reduced exposure information.

The US FDA decision, authorizing IQOS to be marketed in the US with reduced exposure information encourages Philip Morris International to continue its mission of replacing cigarettes with science-based, smoke-free products applying its responsible marketing practices.

The marketing practices of Philip Morris International must always adhere to the following four core principles:
1) PMI only markets and sells its products to adult smokers.
2) PMI warns consumers about the health effects of its products.
3) PMI’s marketing is honest, transparent and accurate.
4) PMI respects the law.

The pioneering SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ in IQOS ILUMA and TEREA completely reinvents the way tobacco is heated. At the heart of the new bladeless SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ is an innovative metal heating element placed inside the TEREA stick and coated with stainless steel for seamless heating of the tobacco. This means your tobacco is heated from the core instead of being burned for an altogether better, cleaner and more consistent experience. Important information: IQOS ILUMA is not risk-free. More on Important Information page.

The all-new IQOS ILUMA with TEREA takes heated tobacco to the next level. Its innovative SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ heats the tobacco from within the TEREA stick, instead of burning it, for an altogether better, cleaner experience.

There’s more. Innovative technology enhances and elevates your experience, while intuitive features and customization allow you to personalize your device. Plus, with our round-the-clock online troubleshooting tools, expert care and exclusive experiences to unlock, enjoy support and privileges that can inspire you.

Do not use IQOS ILUMA™ and TEREA™ sticks with previous IQOS™ generations, as this may cause damage to your device. Do not ingest or disassemble TEREA™ sticks. This product contains a sharp metal part which can cause serious injury if swallowed. Keep out of reach of children. Find more information on www.iqos.com For more details, please refer to the Important Information section at iqos.com.

There are 5 stylish colours available for the new IQOS ILUMA, allowing for personalization to make it truly yours; Pebble Beige, Pebble Grey, Denim Blue, Moss Green and Sunset Red.

In order to provide our IQOS ILUMA users with an elevated experience, the innovative new SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ technology needed to be accommodated, resulting in a slighter larger and more robust device.

Your experience will last up to 6 minutes or 14 puffs, whichever comes first.

Your IQOS ILUMA works best between 0 - 40℃, and TEREA tobacco sticks taste best when you keep them at room temperature. Here are a few storage tips:

-Keep your device away from water, direct sunlight and heat.

-Don’t leave your device in a hot place like inside a car because the lithium-ion battery and electric circuit board could be damaged, or significantly deteriorated.

-To ensure the best taste and to get the most from your device, we also recommend you avoid exposing your IQOS ILUMA and TEREA sticks to low temperatures for a long period of time.

-Store IQOS ILUMA or IQOS ILUMA PRIME and SMARTCORE STICKS™ in a clean, dry, cool place.

-Do not expose IQOS ILUMA or IQOS ILUMA PRIME and SMARTCORE STICKS™ to high humidity conditions or direct sunlight.

-Do not use SMARTCORE STICKS™ that have been exposed to excessive heat or moisture.

Additional information: In cold outdoor conditions, the device may be able to start if it’s kept warm (e.g.in your coat pocket). Nevertheless, while using the holder, the cold outdoor temperature may lead to:

a. Lower performance of the aerosol

b. Not enough energy to match the (per tobacco stick) designed usage duration (up to 6’ or 14 puffs whichever comes first).

The IQOS ILUMA PRIME is the premium flagship of the new IQOS ILUMA devices and perfect for the most discerning users, with its innovative design and considered use of stunning materials.

Do not use IQOS ILUMA and TEREA sticks with IQOS devices of previous generations, as this may cause damage to your device. Do not ingest or disassemble TEREA sticks.

To reset your device, place the Holder in the Pocket Charger and press the button for 10 seconds, then release. All of the lights will turn OFF, blink twice, and turn on again to confirm a RESET. That’s it, you’re done.

There are couple of ways you can check how many uses you have left. Either on the Holder itself or by checking the Pocket Charger with the Holder inside. Here’s how:

Checking on the Holder: Tilt the Holder towards you or short press the button. The lights will come on and indicate the battery level. When 2 lights are on it means the holder is ready for 2 uses and 1 light on means it’s ready for 1 use only.

Checking on the pocket charger: Short press the side button on the pocket charger with the holder inside the charger. The pocket charger light will turn on. 2 lights mean the holder is ready for 2 uses and 1 light on means ready for 1 use.

Checking the battery level of the pocket charger is easy. Simply short press the side button on the pocket charger. The pocket charger lights will turn on to indicate the battery level:

• 4 WHITE lights mean the battery is fully charged

• 3 WHITE lights mean up to 75% battery life remaining

• 2 WHITE lights mean up to 50% battery life remaining

• 1 WHITE light means up to 25% battery life remaining

YELLOW blinking lights displayed on the Holder: This means the battery is depleted and the Holder needs to be recharged. It's pretty fast, IQOS ILUMA holder recharge times are:

• 1’ 50’’ for 0-1 Use*

• 3’ 25’’ for 1-2 Uses*

• 5’ 15’’ for 0-2 Uses*

*Please refer to the battery degradation section.

RED blinking light on the holder: You need to put the holder in the pocket charger and reset the device.

WHITE lights blink twice on the holder: This indicates your IQOS ILUMA is outside its operating temperature range of between >0°C/<40°C.

It’s quick and easy to charge your device but remember, it’s recommended to use the original power adapter and charging cable designed for IQOS ILUMA. It takes around 135 minutes to fully charge the Pocket Charger and up to 10 minutes to fully charge the Holder for the first time after unpacking. The Holder recharge times are:

-1’ 50” for 1 use*

-3’25” for 1-2 uses*

- 5’ 15” 0-2 uses*

-and 10’ 05” for its first charge out of the box*

*Please refer to the battery degradation section.

To ease and elevate your experience, IQOS ILUMA is packed full of new advanced features.

Autostart.
Once your TEREA stick is correctly inserted, your holder will vibrate to let you know that the SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ has started preheating automatically. When it’s ready to use, the device will vibrate a second time. You can also start heating manually by pressing the side button.

Checking your Holder.
This smart gesture allows you to check how much battery is remaining in your holder. Simply tilt the Holder towards you when you’re not using it, and the lights on the holder will indicate the battery level.

Checking how much experience is left.
Double-tap your holder and the vibrations will indicate how much of your experience is left. For instance:

-3 vibrations = 75-50%

-2 = 50-25%

-1 = <25%."

If your IQOS ILUMA doesn't start on its own then please:

• Check that you’re only using TEREA sticks

• Make sure they’re being placed in the right direction in the holder

• Open the IQOS app and check if the autostart function has been accidentally deactivated

• Place the holder in the pocket charger and perform a RESET. To do this, press and hold down the pocket charger button for 10 seconds until the lights fade out. The RESET is confirmed when you release the button and all of the lights blink 2 times

If the Holder starts on its own without a TEREA stick inserted then please follow these steps:

• Place the Holder in the pocket charger and perform a RESET. To do this, press and hold down the pocket charger button for 10 seconds until the lights fade out. The RESET is confirmed when you release the button and all of the lights blink 2 times

The great news is that cleaning the leather wrap is easy. Just grab a damp cloth and wipe it gently. Unfortunately, wraps are not covered by the warranty.

The AC Power Adaptor was removed to reduce electronic waste and carbon footprint.
If you already have one or several AC Power Adaptors from previous IQOS devices, you can continue using them.
If you are purchasing an IQOS device for the first time, you can buy the AC Power Adaptor online or at any IQOS selling store.
Alternatively, you can use a 3rd party Certified AC Power Adaptor (with the safety certification mark).
If you use a 3rd party charging cable, ensure it is designed to deliver up to 2 Ampers. Ensure it supplies 10W (5V 2A - 5 Volts 2 Ampers. Indicated on the packaging on the AC Power Adaptor itself).

Yes, 5V 3A (5 Volts 3 Ampers) can be used to charge IQOS ILUMA devices. However, the charging current will remain 5V 2A.

Yes, it can be used.

Changing your IQOS ILUMA door cover is easy. You don’t need tools because the door is conveniently held in place by firm magnets. First, a pivot opens the door of the pocket charger, then you can remove the door cover by pulling it from the sides. To fit a new door cover, align it with the pivoting door and the magnets will pull it into place.

Changing the ring is straightforward, but you’ll need to use the ring removal tool that came with your new ring. Simply fit the tool on the holder ring and turn it anti-clockwise to unlock it. Next, place the new ring onto the holder and use the tool to turn it clockwise to lock it into place. Your new IQOS ILUMA holder is now uniquely yours.

Certainly. Open the wrap fully on your device and pull it out, from the top down. Now you can easily remove it from the pocket charger. To attach your new wrap, slide the linear magnets into the same shaped recesses on the pocket charger. It’s that simple.
