A smoke free alternative
IQOS is an alternative to cigarettes, without fire or ash. A user experience with real tobacco.
IQOS emits on average at least 95% lower levels of harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes.*
Important information: This does not necessarily equal a 95% reduction in risk. IQOS is not risk-free. *'95% less' represents the average reductions in levels of a range of harmful chemicals (excluding nicotine) compared to the smoke of a reference cigarette (3R4F). See important information.
IQOS has no lit end or smoke.
IQOS produces less smell than cigarretes
Science meets technology.
IQOS is dedicated to providing smoke-free choices for adult smokers. Over 400 scientists and engineers are working on state-of-the-art alternatives to cigarettes.
