hat Is IQOS ILUMA?

IQOS ILUMA is a heated tobacco device that uses advanced induction technology to heat tobacco sticks instead of burning them.

Unlike cigarettes:
• no combustion
• no ash
• no direct burning

👉 Instead, tobacco is heated to release a nicotine-containing aerosol.

SMARTCORE Induction Technology — The Key Innovation

The biggest difference in ILUMA is the heating system.

Blade-Free Heating

Older IQOS devices used a blade inserted into the tobacco stick.

IQOS ILUMA:
• has no blade at all
• uses induction heating
• heats tobacco from the inside

👉 The heating element works through electromagnetic induction, not direct contact.

How It Works

• a metal element inside the stick is heated
• heat spreads evenly through tobacco
• temperature is precisely controlled

👉 This creates a more stable and consistent experience.

TEREA Sticks — Made Only for ILUMA

IQOS ILUMA works exclusively with TEREA sticks.

What Makes TEREA Different

• fully sealed tobacco design
• built-in metal heating element
• no tobacco residue inside the device

👉 TEREA sticks are designed specifically for ILUMA and do not work with older IQOS models.

Why This Matters

• no cleaning required
• less mess
• more consistent flavour

👉 This is a major upgrade from HEETS-based systems.

ILUMA vs Previous IQOS Devices

Old IQOS (Blade System)

• blade heats tobacco directly
• requires regular cleaning
