What are HEETS and TEREA tobacco sticks?
HEETS and TEREA sticks are Tobacco sticks designed for use within IQOS Heated Tobacco (heat-not-burn) devices, including the IQOS Iluma 1 and Originals Kits.
What is Heated Tobacco?
Heated Tobacco is a modern alternative to cigarettes, where Tobacco is heated at a lower temperature instead of burning it, with the simple aim of reducing the harmful chemicals cigarettes produce.
How are HEETS Sticks made?
HEETS sticks are made from a blend of ground-up Tobaccos with added flavouring, enclosed in a tube-shaped wrapper with a filter in one end to form a stick shape. These sticks can then be inserted into a compact 'oven-style' vape device.
How are TEREA sticks made?
TEREA sticks are made similarly to HEETS sticks, except they have a built-in metal heating element that allows them to be heated from within using a compact 'induction heating-style' vape device.
How many HEETS flavours are there?
The full IQOS HEETS product range has 10 flavour options, each with varying intensity, ranging from mild to strong. The range has been broken down into 3 smaller groupings - The Classic Range, based around natural Tobacco flavour blends; the Menthol range, with Mint or Menthol added; and the Aromatic Range, with fruit flavours added.

How many TEREA flavours are there?
The current IQOS TEREA product range has 9 flavour options in the range. Again, this range has been broken down into 3 smaller groupings - The Classic Range, based around natural Tobacco flavour bends; the Menthol range, with Mint or Menthol added; and the Aromatic Range, with fruit flavours added. However, there is no Sienna Caps option, although this is expected in 2024.
Do HEETS and TEREA taste the same?
For continuity, all flavours in the original HEETS range have been carried across to the newer TEREA range. So, for example, if Amber HEETS are your go-to choice, you will enjoy the same taste from Amber TEREA sticks when upgrading to an Iluma device.

How does the flavour of Heated Tobacco sticks compare to a cigarette?
The taste of Heated Tobacco sticks is slightly different from that of a cigarette because the Tobacco is heated rather than burnt. However, Heated Tobacco still provides the authentic tobacco taste, nicotine hit and satisfaction that adult smokers expect.
An advantage of both HEETS and TEREA sticks over traditional cigarettes is that the Tobacco can be infused with aromatic and fruity flavours to provide a unique twist on a classic flavour. You can enjoy the introduction of Menthol, Forest Berries and Citrus flavours to the Tobacco.
