What Are HEETS? — Product Definition
HEETS contain:
• processed real tobacco
• humectants (including glycerin)
• filter segments
• aroma and flavor compounds
They are not cigarettes:
• no combustion
• no ash
• reduced smoke toxicants
Tar explanation in heated tobacco
📌 The aerosol contains fewer harmful chemicals than cigarette smoke — but is not risk‑free.
Why HEETS Are Used With IQOS
IQOS controls temperature precisely:
✔️ prevents burning
✔️ reduces toxicant formation
✔️ provides consistent nicotine delivery
📌 Compatibility is crucial — HEETS are engineered specifically for IQOS devices.
HEETS Flavor Groups — 2025 Overview
Full flavor breakdown (detailed article)
Main categories:
• Menthol & cooling profiles (e.g., Turquoise, Green)
• Balanced tobacco blends (e.g., Amber, Yellow)
• Rich tobacco profiles (e.g., Sienna, Bronze)
• Aromatic variations (e.g., Purple, Mauve)
📌 Great for adult smokers who want to match their cigarette taste preference.
HEETS Strength Levels
Nicotine delivery varies by:
• tobacco density
• flavor mix
• heating resistance
📌 “Strong” ≠ higher tar — strength refers to nicotine and sensory intensity.
Internal Structure — Why HEETS Look Different From Cigarettes
HEETS include:
• tobacco plug
• hollow cooling tube
• filter section
• protective wrap
📌 This structure controls airflow and aerosol temperature.
Device Compatibility
HEETS work only with:
• IQOS 2.4+
• IQOS 3 & 3 DUO
• IQOS ILUMA (via Smartcore sticks support still region‑specific*)
📌 Users must check regional stick compatibility rules.
