Introducing IQOS
Introducing IQOS Heat Not Burn
Meet IQOS, the most popular brand at the forefront of heat not burn products. First established back in 2014, IQOS launched their innovative heat not burn technology as a healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes, and their popularity has continued to skyrocket ever since.
With the goal of creating a smoke-free future, IQOS have released an exclusive range of products that deliver all the same satisfaction of regular cigarettes, but with far fewer risks. With no combustion, smoke, or tar involved, their devices simply warm up the tobacco inside their Heets sticks to create a nicotine-rich vapour that keeps your cravings at bay.
Want to find out more? We’ve taken a deep dive into the IQOS brand, their devices, and their tobacco products to give you a full rundown of their innovative range to help you decide if they can provide you with the right smoking cessation aid to guide you along your quit smoking journey.
What is IQOS?
IQOS is an established brand that creates some of the best selling heat not burn products on the market, and it’s also the name of their flagship device. Unlike vaping products, which use eliquid, the IQOS cigarette is a pocket-sized electronic device that heats real tobacco for a satisfying and authentic experience, without any smoke, combustion or unpleasant odour.
Not only does this safer alternative involve fewer harmful chemicals, but the lack of smoke means it’s not an inconvenience to bystanders, and you can use your IQOS just about anywhere you can use a vape.

What are HEETS?
Heets is the name given to the tobacco sticks that are specially designed to be used in tandem with IQOS devices. IQOS Heets look similar to traditional cigarettes, only a little smaller. They feature a cigarette-style filter tip that protrudes from the device when it’s installed, allowing you to puff away and enjoy the satisfying sensation of smoking, without ignition or combustion, so you’ll never need to worry about carrying a lighter or searching for an ashtray ever again.
IQOS HEETS Flavours
As we mentioned above, Heets tobacco sticks contain real tobacco, so it’s no surprise that many of the Heets flavours available feature an authentic golden tobacco flavour. Heets flavours vary in taste from mild to bold, so whether you’re looking for a rich tobacco taste or something more mild and fruity, there’s sure to be something among the Heets flavours range that caters to your preferences.
The Heets flavours range is divided into 3 categories: Classic, Menthol, and Aromatic. If you’re struggling to decide which flavour to choose, IQOS even offer Heets sticks that can be transformed from a Classic tobacco taste to a Menthol taste at just the click of a button.
