Understand The Difference Between Tobacco Heating Devices and Nicotine Pouches
Have you ever heard of "smoke-free alternative products"? Smoke-free alternative products are devices that heat tobacco (without burning it) and are smoke-free, ash-free, and contain nicotine.
Many adult smokers today are seeking smoke-free alternatives rather than continuing to smoke. To understand why, it's useful to learn more about what these smoke-free alternative products are and their uses.
IQOS tobacco heating devices are a lower risk smoke-free alternative product because they do not produce the harmful chemicals found in cigarette smoke. “Tar” is the residue from smoke after the tobacco product is burned. IQOS devices do not produce “tar” because IQOS heats the tobacco instead of burning it. IQOS produces vapor (aerosol) that is different from “tar” and contains 95% lower levels of harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes.*
* “95% less” represents the average reduction in levels of the 9 chemicals recommended for reduction in cigarette smoke by the World Health Organization, which do not include nicotine. See Important Information on IQOS.com
What Smoke-Free Alternative Products Are Available for Adult Smokers?
There are currently many smoke-free alternative products available that allow adult smokers to switch from conventional cigarettes. Learn more through this article about the differences between smoke-free alternative products such as tobacco heating devices and nicotine pouches.
IQOS Tobacco Heating Devices
IQOS tobacco heating devices are a smoke-free alternative product that does not involve combustion, thereby not producing harmful chemical residues like “tar” found in conventional cigarette smoke. IQOS device heats TEREATM tobacco sticks, which produce tobacco vapor (aerosol).
Since IQOS does not involve combustion, IQOS ILUMA emits 95% less harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes.* However, this does not equate to a reduction in risk, IQOS is not risk-free because it contains addictive nicotine.

When switching to IQOS, adult smokers can still enjoy the taste of real tobacco through TEREATM tobacco sticks. There are three categories of TEREATM flavors, which are tobacco, menthol, and aromatic. Each TEREATM flavor variant is unique and provides different levels of flavor intensity that you can choose from. Click this link to learn about the various TEREATM tobacco stick flavors.
What Are Nicotine Pouches?
Nicotine pouches are another smoke-free alternative product that is available on the market. Adult smokers can use nicotine pouches by placing them between the gum and lip to experience nicotine.
Unlike tobacco heating devices, nicotine pouches do not contain any tobacco. The nicotine in nicotine pouches is naturally extracted from tobacco leaves. This smoke-free alternative product is also available in various flavors.
Switching to smoke-free alternative products does not mean you are free of risk as they contain addictive nicotine.
Want to Switch to Smoke-Free Alternatives and Still Enjoy the Taste of Real Tobacco?
If you are looking for a smoke-free alternative product with the taste of real tobacco, IQOS tobacco heating devices that use TEREATM tobacco sticks might be the right choice. Adult smokers can still enjoy the taste of real tobacco and nicotine without smoke and ash.
TEREATM tobacco sticks are available in a wide range of flavors. TEREATM tobacco sticks can only be used with IQOS ILUMATM devices. Do not use TEREATM tobacco sticks with IQOS 3, IQOS 3 DUOS, or IQOS ORIGINAL devices, as this may damage your device.
