What are TEREA™ Tobacco Sticks?

TEREA™ tobacco sticks are specially made for IQOS ILUMA and have been precision engineered to create an authentic tobacco flavor experience. While you can experience the real tobacco flavor of TEREA™ and create a cleaner experience, it should be noted that TEREA™ tobacco sticks are not risk-free as they contain nicotine which can cause dependency.

  1. Lower aerosol performance
  2. Not enough energy to achieve the designed duration of use (per tobacco stick) (up to 6' or 14 puffs, depending on which is reached first).
