How does IQOS ILUMA heat the tobacco?

The pioneering SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ in IQOS ILUMA and SMARTCORE STICKS™ completely reinvents the way tobacco is heated. The heart of the new bladeless SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ is an innovative metal heating element placed inside the SMARTCORE STICKS™ and coated with stainless steel for seamless heating of the tobacco. This means your tobacco is heated from the core instead of being burned for an altogether better, cleaner and more pleasurable experience. Important information: IQOS ILUMA is not risk-free, and contains nicotine which is addictive.
