What if I received sticks that were manufactured not in the current year?

Sticks have no expiration date set by the manufacturer. If they are sealed in their original packaging, they retain their taste and quality for a long time. Unsealed opened pack retains taste for a few months.

What is IQOS?

IQOS is a tobacco heating system. Thanks to the unique technology, IQOS heats tobacco and does not burn it, so there is no ash. A tobacco vapour that is generated by IQOS disappears much faster and smells considerably less than cigarette smoke.

Does IQOS help to give up smoking?

IQOS is not an alternative to giving up smoking. For those adult smokers who are worried about the health risks related to tobacco consumption the best option would be quitting tobacco in any of its forms.

Does IQOS generate smoke?

No, using IQOS releases a kind of tobacco vapour, which allows to fully sense the true taste of tobacco without combustion, ash or smoke.

What is the difference between using conventional cigarettes and IQOS?

IQOS is the best alternative to smoking, as it does not burn tobacco, but heats it. It gives the possibility to enjoy the true taste of tobacco without fire, ash or cigarette smoke, with less smell. IQOS generates a nicotine-containing tobacco vapour. Levels of harmful substances in this vapour are on average 90% lower than in cigarette smoke*. A complete switch to IQOS can be less harmful for health than continuing to smoke cigarettes.

NOTE: it does not mean that using IQOS is harmless or excludes any health risks related to tobacco consumption. If you are worried about tobacco influence on health, the best solution for you would be to quit tobacco at all.

*The average general decrease in harmful and potentially harmful substances measured in aerosol that results from using IQOS, comparing to harmful substances measured in the cigarette smoke from 200 conventional cigarette brands.

The research of aerosol and cigarette smoke was carried out in an intensive mode defined by the Ministry of Health of Canada. Nicotine was not taken into account.

Is IQOS safe?

No. Using IQOS does not exclude risks. Despite the fact that IQOS generates on average 90% fewer harmful substances, they are still present in small amounts. Moreover, the HEETS sticks contain nicotine, which causes addiction. Current scientific research confirms that a complete switch to IQOS can be less harmful for health than continuing to smoke cigarettes. If you are worried about tobacco influence on health, the best solution for you would be to quit tobacco at all.

What is “tobacco vapour” which is released while using IQOS?

Tobacco vapour is aerosol that appears while heating tobacco leaves. The vapour mainly consists of water, glycerine and nicotine.

What is the difference between IQOS and an electronic cigarette?

IQOS uses the technology of heating tobacco without combustion. It releases a kind of tobacco vapour, which allows to fully sense the true taste of tobacco without combustion, ash and smoke. In contrast to an electronic cigarette, which contains liquid, IQOS sticks contain the real tobacco leaf.

How long is one session with HEETS?

HEETS sticks are meant for the same duration of use and number of puffs as conventional cigarettes.

Why are HEETS sticks shorter than usual cigarettes?

Tobacco sticks are intended to be used only with the IQOS devices. Sticks have the optimal length and diameter suitable for the Holder.

Why is the taste of HEETS sticks different from that of regular cigarettes?

The taste of IQOS differs from cigarettes, as tobacco is heated until a certain temperature and not burned. This temperature is enough to reveal its true taste and aroma. HEETS sticks are made from specially selected tobacco blends. They let you enjoy the natural taste of tobacco and try to meet the expectations of adult smokers in the best possible way.

Do HEETS sticks contain nicotine?

Yes, HEETS sticks contain nicotine, which causes addiction. Nicotine is present in tobacco contained in HEETS sticks. It is released in the vapour that results from using IQOS.

I can’t insert the HEETS stick into the Holder

If you find it difficult to insert the stick into the Holder, check whether there is some tobacco stuck in the cap from a previous use. Use the special pin from the IQOS cleaning tool to remove the tobacco carefully.

Can I use the stick separately, like a cigarette?

Tobacco sticks are intended for IQOS; they cannot be burned or exposed to any other fire impact. Sticks were elaborated exceptionally for the IQOS Holder.

Why does the paper of the tobacco stick get brown after using IQOS?

Since tobacco in IQOS is heated and not burned, the stick retains its initial size – nothing burns inside it. The stick can change its colour after it was heated and after moisture and aroma were released from tobacco. Besides, the texture of the tobacco leaf itself is modified after heating. The paper of the tobacco stick can also change colour and get a bit wet after heating tobacco.

How many heatsticks are there in a pack/carton?

Every pack has 20 heatsticks, and one carton contains 10 packs. Therefore, one carton has 200 heatsticks.

What kind of film is there inside the heatstick filter?

This is a biopolymer film made from polylactic acid, which is one of the most commonly used biopolymers in the world. It provides the comfortable level of temperature and moisture of tobacco vapour that is released when tobacco is heated. The suitability for use is tested and evaluated by Phillip Morris International (PMI). Emission of harmful substances from the biopolymer film during IQOS functioning was not identified.

Why is there no ash while using the glo™ device?

Ash is released wile burning, whereas the glo™ device heats tobacco without burning it.

What is the main mechanism of the glo™ device?

Inside the device, there is a cylindrical chamber, in which the tobacco stick is inserted. When activated, the battery sends power to the heater, where tobacco is heated at the temperature from 200 to 240 degrees. As a result, there is a nicotine-rich vapour.

Is the glo™ device less harmful for health than electronic cigarettes?

These devices are different and function differently. So far, there has been no research devoted to the differences between tobacco heating systems and electronic cigarettes in terms of health impact. In any case, it does not mean that glo™ is less harmful for health than other tobacco products.

What does “without combustion, ash and smell” mean?

In the glo™ device, tobacco is not burned, but is heated. Due to this, there is no ash while using it. There is also less smell comparing to smoking conventional cigarettes. This does not necessarily mean that the product causes fewer side effects for health than other tobacco products.

Is this device intended for those who are going to quit smoking?

No, the glo™ device is not a way of giving up smoking.

Does the phrase “90% fewer harmful substances” mean that the glo™ device is less harmful than cigarettes?

This does not necessarily mean that the product causes fewer side effects for health than other tobacco goods.

What does the phrase “90% fewer toxic substances” mean?

Comparing smoke from a burning tobacco in a standard cigarette of the 3R4F format (about 9 mg of tars) and vapour from a heated tobacco in the glo™ device is carried out for 9 types of harmful substances, the consumption of which should be banned, according to the World Health Organisation. This does not necessarily mean that the given product is less harmful than other tobacco goods.

Where did the name of glo™ come from?

The brand mark glo™ is a created word, which refers to the English word “glow”.

Where is the glo™ device manufactured?

The key components are made in Japan (the battery) and the USA (the heater). The ready glo™ device is assembled in China.

The taste changes in the middle of the session. Why?

This is conditioned by the way of heating tobacco and is absolutely normal. The amount of vapour, as well as the intensity of taste, can be reduced during the session, as the tobacco stick cools down a bit as a result of frequent and deep inhaling. If you stopped feeling the taste, wait a bit for the stick to get heated until the optimal temperature again.

Why is tobacco stick heated from outside?

Outside heating provides optimal change of the tobacco fragrances into the tobacco vapour, which is inhaled. In the glo™ device, outside heating is also used for better cleaning of the heating chamber.

Can I use the tobacco stick again for the next session?

No, the tobacco stick can be used only once.

The inhaled vapour seems hot, is it normal?

All tobacco heating systems release warm tobacco vapour – this is normal.

There is brown liquid dripping from under the cleaning shutter. What shall I do?

This is normal. While tobacco is heated, moisture evaporates from it and can accumulate in this part of the device. Wipe it with a napkin or a wet cloth. If this happens regularly, then the device should be cleaned more often.

I cannot easily insert or take out the tobacco stick. What shall I do?

Open the cleaning shutter and make sure that the heating chamber is empty (check the chamber). If necessary, use the brush provided for cleaning the chamber and removing the remaining particles (perhaps of the stuck tobacco stick). After that, try using another tobacco stick.
