How do TEREA and HEETS compare?

Both TEREA with IQOS ILUMA and HEETS with previous IQOS blade devices heat the tobacco from inside, instead of burning it, without any smoke or ash and less smell than cigarettes. And on top of this, they emit on average 95% lower levels of harmful chemicals than cigarettes*. Important information: It does not necessarily equal a 95% reduction in risk. IQOS is not risk-free.

Compared to HEETS sticks, TEREA sticks are sealed. So, when TEREA sticks are used with IQOS ILUMA there is no tobacco residue and no need to clean the device after use. Thanks to the all-new IQOS ILUMA and TEREA tobacco sticks, you may enjoy a better tobacco experience in a clean and effortless way. TEREA sticks are designed to be used only with IQOS ILUMA, but don’t worry, you can find our favorite HEETS tastes in the range of TEREA flavors. TEREA sticks contain metal part. Keep out of reach of children to prevent disassembly or ingestion. 

IQOS ILUMA™ is designed to be used only with TEREA™ sticks. 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.

* “95% less” represents the average reductions in levels of a range of harmful chemicals (excluding nicotine) compared to the smoke of a reference cigarette (3R4F). See Important Information on IQOS.com
