IQOS 2.4 Plus - Pink Limited Edition

IQOS 2.4 Plus is the innovative IQOS system which heats tobacco instead of burning it, and presents a better alternative to cigarette smoking.

IQOS 2.4 Plus is a tobacco heating system containing three main components: a heated tobacco unit (called HEETS or HeatSticks), an IQOS holder, and a charger.

While the idea of heating tobacco (instead of burning it) has been around for more than two decades, it took years of research and development to create a product that is satisfying to adult consumers. Around 7.3 million consumers have already chosen to switch from cigarettes to this product: our tobacco heating system IQOS.

At the heart of IQOS 2.4 Plus are sophisticated electronics that heat specially designed heated tobacco units. IQOS 2.4 Plus heats the tobacco just enough to release a flavorful nicotine-containing tobacco vapor but without burning the tobacco.

Here’s the key point: the tobacco in a cigarette burns at temperatures in excess of 600°C, generating smoke that contains high levels of harmful chemicals. But IQOS 2.4 Plus heats tobacco to much lower temperatures, up to 350°C, without combustion, fire, ash, or smoke. The lower temperature heating releases the true taste of heated tobacco. Because the tobacco is heated and not burned, the levels of harmful chemicals are significantly reduced compared to cigarette smoke.

What is there? A nicotine-containing vapor – not smoke – that makes IQOS 2.4 Plus a smoke-free product that is appealing to smokers.

How does IQOS 2.4 Plus work?

A consumer inserts the heated tobacco unit into the IQOS 2.4 Plus holder, which contains an electronically controlled heater.

The consumer pushes a button to turn on the heater, and then draws on the heated tobacco unit to enjoy the real taste of heated tobacco. Once the heated tobacco unit is finished, the consumer removes it from the holder, and then it can be disposed of safely in a waste bin. After each experience, the consumer recharges the holder by inserting it into the charger.
