What are HEETS?
HEETS are tobacco sticks that are designed to be used with an IQOS device. Unlike cigarettes, they’re heated rather than burned, so there’s no smoke, no ash, and less smell. However, IQOS provides cigarette-like satisfaction*, and smokers who switched to IQOS feel more comfortable getting close to people than they did after smoking a cigarette.**
While IQOS is not risk-free, and the best choice any smoker can make is to quit smoking entirely, switching to HEETS and IQOS presents less risk to your health than continuing to smoke***, and each HEETS stick lasts roughly the same time or a number of puffs as a cigarette.
Important information: IQOS is not risk-free. It delivers nicotine, which is addictive.
HEETS use real tobacco and have a recommended retail price (RRP) of £5.50 for 20 tobacco sticks. They can last for up to six minutes of 14 puffs, and when heated release a vapour rather than smoke.

How Do I Choose the Right HEETS Variant for Me?
The HEETS variant you choose will likely depend on what you’re looking for. Consider whether you’d prefer HEETS with a classic or a menthol taste, and then the sort of body and intensity you’d like.

Which HEETS has the Strongest taste intensity?
HEETS Russet are the boldest HEETS, containing a rich toasted blend of tobacco and a high intensity, and they’re followed by HEETS Sienna if you’re after a classic taste. However, HEETS Blue are the most intense menthol HEETS, with peppermint notes and deep menthol cooling.
