What are HEETS made of?

The HEETS tobacco stick is compact and precisely designed with two main parts: tobacco and non-tobacco. You can think of its contents as the HEETS components. Here is what HEETS are made of:

HEETS Components
Tobacco
Real tobacco that has been carefully selected, finely ground and specially prepared to be heated.

Non-tobacco
Cooling plug: made of corn-based material
Air flow chamber: area designed to hold the tobacco plug and move the aerosol to the cooling plug
Protective wrap: a sleeve around the tobacco that helps to deliver a consistent taste
Filter: similar to a traditional cigarette�s mouthpiece filter but made of cellulose acetate instead of plastic

IQOS is the first and only tobacco heating system authorized by the US FDA as a Modified Risk Tobacco Product.*

*This does not mean that IQOS is risk-free or that the FDA has approved or endorsed IQOS.
