How Induction Heating Works — A Simple Scientific Breakdown
Heating Without Touching
Induction applies controlled electromagnetic energy that:
• Activates a metal element inside the tobacco stick
• Generates heat from the inside outward
• Avoids tobacco burning and ash creation
Tar formation prevention explained
📌 Heat is generated within the stick, not on the device — removing direct contact.
Key Advantages of Induction vs Blade Heating
Feature Induction (Iluma) Blade Heating (IQOS 3 DUO)
Cleaning Not required Required
Blade break risk None Possible
Heating precision Very high High
Taste consistency Strong Good
Device structure More durable More delicate
📌 Induction improves usability → supports switching success for adults who smoke.
TEREA Tobacco Sticks — Engineered for Induction
Induction sticks (TEREA) include:
• Sealed heating element → no loose residue
• Advanced airflow system
• Tobacco plug and filter design similar to HEETS
• Temperature stability for repeatable taste
📌 TEREA cannot be used with blade‑based devices — for safety reasons.
Toxicant Outcomes — Why Induction Matters in Science
Reducing thermal variability helps ensure:
• fewer overheating incidents
• less thermal degradation of tobacco compounds
• more stable toxicant reduction profile over time
Toxicant comparison across products
User Benefits — Real‑World Impact
Induction brings:
✔️ smoother aerosol
✔️ fewer interruptions or device errors
✔️ less smell and residue
✔️ simpler everyday experience
Heated tobacco vs vaping comparison
📌 Less maintenance = higher adoption success
Frequently Asked Questions — Induction Technology
Why doesn’t the device need cleaning?
No blade touches tobacco → no buildup over time.
Does induction mean less toxic exposure?
Reduced temperature fluctuation helps maintain lower toxicant formation, but risks remain vs non‑nicotine alternatives.
Why doesn’t Iluma support HEETS sticks?
HEETS lack a sealed heating element — blade devices heat differently.
Final Summary — A Technology for Harm Reduction Progress
Induction heating represents:
• A step forward in engineering and reliability
• A cleaner alternative to blade‑based systems
• Improved user satisfaction, supporting transitions away from cigarettes
• Better temperature control, reducing formation of harmful by‑products
📌 Not risk‑free — but a meaningful scientific improvement
📌 Best results only happen with full replacement of cigarettes
