What are IQOS heated tobacco devices?
IQOS heated tobacco devices are electronic devices that use induction to gently heat real tobacco instead of burning it. Currently there are three models: IQOS ILUMA PRIME, IQOS ILUMA and IQOS ILUMA ONE.
Real tobacco.
Our high-quality tobacco varieties ripen in fields in Italy, Brazil and Tanzania, among other places.
The tobacco pleasure with IQOS ILUMA already begins with the harvest. Selected raw materials, years of experience and expertise are the foundation of our TEREA tobacco variety.
Gently heated.
The tobacco is gently heated instead of burned by the innovative SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM:

Heating element The innovative heating element is coated with stainless steel and is located inside the tobacco stick, where it gently heats the tobacco. |

Especially for IQOS ILUMA.
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.

Frequently asked questions about TEREA tobacco sticks
IQOS ILUMA was designed so that a TEREA tobacco stick is heated for about the same period of time as a cigarette, but without burning tobacco. Which is why the consumption time of a TEREA tobacco stick is approximately the same as that of a cigarette. A TEREA tobacco stick can be consumed for up to 6 minutes.
Please note: The exact duration of use depends on the consumption habits and may vary if, for example, the tobacco stick is puffed heavily.
Yes, TEREA tobacco sticks contain nicotine, which is addictive. Nicotine is a natural component of the tobacco plant and is released in the tobacco aerosol produced when IQOS ILUMA is used.
In 2023, eight different TEREA flavors are available in Germany: TEREA Russet, TEREA Bronze, TEREA Sienna, TEREA Teak, TEREA Yellow Green, TEREA Amber, TEREA Yellow and TEREA Turquoise.
TEREA tobacco sticks are available in many different varieties, from intense and toasted to fine and soft. With the help of the TEREA product descriptions, you can get an idea of the variety and choose the TEREA variety that best suits your taste.

TEREA tobacco sticks are shorter than cigarettes because the tobacco in them is compressed. The tobacco in TEREA consists of the finest tobacco leaves, which have been ground and processed into a homogeneous tobacco strand. This allows the tobacco to be gently heated instead of burned. The duration of tobacco enjoyment remains the same: the average consumption experience is about the same as a cigarette.
No, IQOS does not offer nicotine-free TEREA tobacco sticks. TEREA are made from real tobacco, which naturally contains nicotine.
HEETS tobacco sticks were developed for earlier IQOS heated tobacco devices (such as IQOS ORIGINALS). HEETS are gently heated via a heating blade located in the holder of the tobacco heaters.
By contrast, TEREA Tobacco Sticks, designed exclusively for use with IQOS ILUMA, gently heat the real tobacco directly inside through the SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™.
TEREA tobacco sticks are therefore constructed differently than HEETS tobacco sticks, among other things, they contain a heating element coated with stainless steel and are closed on both sides.
That's why TEREA tobacco sticks can only be used with IQOS ILUMA, and HEETS tobacco sticks exclusively with earlier IQOS models such as IQOS ORIGINALS.
No, TEREA tobacco sticks are designed for one-time use only. Please dispose of TEREA tobacco sticks after use.
