Alternatives to Electronic Cigarettes: Discover IQOS
If you are an adult smoker in search of alternatives to electronic cigarettes, IQOS is the right option for you. In this article, we will explore the features of this innovative choice and why it could be the alternative to electronic cigarettes you are looking for.
What is IQOS?
IQOS is a tobacco heating device. Unlike conventional electronic cigarettes, IQOS does not vaporize liquids but heats specially designed tobacco sticks.
IQOS is technology and innovation, the result of the work of hundreds of scientists from Philip Morris, who have succeeded in obtaining the best alternative to electronic cigarettes for adult smokers who want to continue smoking.
How do IQOS devices work?
The operation of dispositivos IQOS is simple and intuitive:
By easily placing the tobacco sticks, its metallic heating element takes care of heating the tobacco from inside the tobacco stick, thanks to induction.
The device starts automatically. Preheating begins automatically in a few seconds. With just a few movements, you can know how many uses are left, and through vibrations, how much experience time remains. Additionally, you can control all of this through the IQOS app.
The air flow chamber will make the experience perfect, as it facilitates the draw with the right amount of air. Both its front seal and protective wrap provide a cleaner experience.

Discover why you should join the experience of heating tobacco with IQOS:
No combustion
IQOS emits, on average, 95% fewer levels of harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes*.
Important information: This does not necessarily imply a 95% reduction in risk. IQOS is not risk-free.
*Average reductions in levels of a series of harmful chemicals (excluding nicotine) compared to reference cigarette smoke.

Tar-free:
IQOS generates an aerosol residue that is fundamentally different from cigarette tar and contains significantly lower levels of harmful chemicals.
Important information: The absence of tar does not mean IQOS is risk-free. Nicotine, which is addictive, is inhaled with its use.
