Does IQOS stain your teeth?

According to a non-clinical laboratory study carried out in Switzerland, IQOS stains your teeth significantly less than cigarettes do¹.

If you are looking for a way to remove stains on teeth, IQOS is not a product designed for that. However, it can significantly reduce the chances of new stains appearing when compared to continuing to smoke. Therefore, this advantage of IQOS will be more evident after a professional dental cleaning and only after changing completely to IQOS.

Another aspect that must not be forgotten is that factors like drinking tea, coffee or wine can stain your teeth, regardless of whether you have decided to switch to IQOS or continue to smoke traditional cigarettes.

IQOS will make you feel more at ease when approaching other people since it affects less your breath: smokers switching to IQOS say that their breath smells better than when they smoked cigarettes². And you will also have a better sensation in your mouth and a less unpleasant after-taste than that left by cigarettes³.

The use of IQOS produces less of a smell than cigarettes and isn't as persistent in permeating the hands, hair and clothes, meaning you are less likely to bother those around you. This is made possible by the fact that IQOS produces a tobacco vapour that dissipates more quickly than cigarette smoke, thereby eliminating the uncomfortable smell of smoke from your environment. Ultimately, making the switch to IQOS helps improve your personal image.

In addition to all the advantages already mentioned, IQOS has many others too, such as, for example, the fact of not generating ash, smoke or fire.

As it does not use combustion, IQOS does not produce ash and, consequently, does not generate smoke; instead, it produces a tobacco vapour that dissipates more quickly than cigarette smoke. Equally, as there is no lit tip, as instead there is with a cigarette, with IQOS there is also no risk of burning those around you, nor pets, clothes or furniture.

All these advantages of IQOS over traditional cigarettes are made possible by the sophisticated HeatControl™ technology, a system that, thanks to the heating plate within the device, heats the tobacco to a significantly lower temperature, without burning it.

Here at Philip Morris International, we know that the best choice is to stop smoking and consume nicotine completely, but we also know that there are adult smokers who are simply not going to do this or are unable to; this is why IQOS has been created as a better alternative to traditional cigarettes.

It is important to know that IQOS is not a tool to help smokers stop using tobacco. IQOS is used with units of tobacco for heating that contain nicotine, an addictive substance that is also present in traditional cigarettes. This is why IQOS is for adult smokers only who would in any case continue to smoke tobacco products or use products containing nicotine. Nonetheless, the fact of not involving combustion, nor smoke, means that switching entirely to IQOS is a better option than continuing to smoke.
