What is IQOS, and how is it different from vaping?<\/h2>\n
\n Short answer<\/span><\/p>\n

IQOS is a heated tobacco system from Philip Morris International (PMI):<\/strong> a device that heats a stick of real tobacco without igniting it, so there is no combustion and no ash. It is not a vape and uses no liquid. Kuwait has two separate lines: ILUMA with TEREA sticks<\/strong> and BONDS with BLENDS sticks<\/strong> \u2014 each device takes only its own sticks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The resemblance to a vape is only skin-deep: the consumable is a real tobacco leaf compressed into a short stick, and the device is simply a controlled source of heat.<\/p>\n

    What heated tobacco is, and why it is not vaping<\/h2>\n

    Heated tobacco is a category of its own. The material is real tobacco<\/strong>: a processed leaf compressed into a short stick with a mouthpiece and a cooling section. The device releases its taste and stops short of combustion, and one stick is one session. Vaping is a different category built on a filled liquid \u2014 which is why a TEREA or BLENDS pack carries none of the measures found on vape products.<\/p>\n
