Small parliament cigarettes that heat up. "Ikos": reviews of doctors, the composition of the electronic cigarette Philip Morris Iqos. Where to buy iQOS and current price

As soon as the public became aware that tobacco smoking causes devastating harm to health, provokes the development of many deadly diseases, tobacco manufacturers began to actively explore new points of contact with the market. Lightweight cigarettes and improved devices appeared on sale: electronic hookahs and smoking gadgets.

Modern devices for smoking tobacco are annually replenished with new models and developments. At the same time, tobacco companies are doing everything possible to reduce the harm from smoking to humans. If some manufacturers only tried to "downplay" the evil, camouflaging it in "lightweight cigarettes", then others created innovative smoking technologies.

In connection with the large-scale propaganda of the dangers of smoking, more and more new smoking gadgets aimed at minimizing the harm began to appear on the market.

As soon as the public became concerned about the health of its smoking citizens, many manufacturers of tobacco products started producing "light" cigarettes. Many adherents of fragrant smoke considered them less harmful, but in reality it turned out not to be so.. As a result, after the appearance of a ban on the use of the name “light”, manufacturers simply began to paint packs in different colors, focusing on the level of tar and nicotine content.

There have also been genuine attempts to reduce the harms of smoking by creating "perfectly safe" cigarettes. But they also failed. Some brands turned out to be tasteless and unattractive, while others used poisonous asbestos in the filters.

Manufacturers of tobacco products are not particularly eager to spend money on research. After all, the usual cigarettes sold well. But the situation changed dramatically when smoking was declared the main enemy of health. Tobacco corporations had to reconsider their positions. Soon on sale appeared:

  • chewing tobacco;
  • electronic cigarettes, pipes and hookahs;
  • nicotine-containing accessories (plasters, sprays, chewing gum).

But it soon became clear that the glycerin vapors that electronic smoking devices produced during operation also turned out to be harmful, capable of provoking allergic reactions. Tobacco was extremely harmful to the health of the mouth and teeth. And nicotine chewing gum, sprays and patches actually turned out to be pacifiers and did not help in any way to part with a harmful addiction.

Innovative smoking device iQOS

iQOS (or IQOS) is a new brand of tobacco smoking device that was released in 2014. New products were presented to the smoking world by the legendary corporation Philip Morris International (Switzerland). The creators assigned two names to the unique technology of smoking:

  1. Heat-not-burn. Used for large-scale advertising campaigns in America.
  2. heat control. This name has become more famous in Europe.

The IQOS system is a new word in the world of smoking

The first to get acquainted with the innovative invention were the inhabitants of Japan and Italy. In 2015, they were joined by Russia, Romania and Switzerland. In America, the invention is not yet commercially available, the corporation is waiting for the final results of long-term safety testing.

Preliminary results of the analyzes of the potential hazard of Aikos are quite encouraging. It has been established that when using them, the harm from smoking is reduced by almost 94% due to the absence of toxic combustion products of tobacco and the formation of tarry substances.

The essence of the device

The principle of operation of Aykos is that, unlike the usual cigarettes or pipes, tobacco does not undergo combustion. It only heats up without creating carcinogenic smoke. But at the same time, it conveys to the user all the sophistication of the aromas and tastes of tobacco products.

IQOS is used like regular electronic cigarettes

Of course, iQOS cannot be considered an absolutely safe device, but the innovative smoking system greatly reduces the risk of developing various pathologies (especially oncology) in cigarette addicts. According to experts, when using the new smoking system:

  • the danger of passive smoking disappears;
  • the consumer receives all the usual aroma and sensations from tobacco;
  • 94-97% less toxic and carcinogenic compounds penetrate into the human body compared to conventional smoking.

Manufacturers were able to achieve such a unique effect through the use of an innovative heating system for the used tobacco mixture. When used, the smoking mass is heated up to +300⁰С. Whereas when using ordinary cigarettes, tobacco smolders, heating up to + 800⁰С.

Namely, under such a temperature regime, a huge amount of toxic and carcinogenic substances is sent to the human lungs. When using IQOS, a person simply inhales the steam obtained after heating natural tobacco. Due to the low temperature, the formation of resins is minimized, these toxic substances do not even reach the filter part.

What does IQOS look like?

The device according to its purpose refers to smoking gadgets. It is used simultaneously with special sticks (they must be purchased separately).

Sticks for iQOS are a kind of small cigarettes equipped with a filter. But the tobacco inside them is not cut, but laid in thin strips parallel to the central axis of the stick.

The IQOS device is simple and looks a bit like an ES

Electronic tobacco heating system Aykos is available for sale in two versions:

1. Plastic housing (white color).

2. With the addition of a rubberized coating (dark blue).

The device of the smoking gadget includes the following parts:

Holder consisting of:

  • diode indicator;
  • contactless port for recharging;
  • 120 mAh batteries (lithium-ion);
  • heating structure with ceramic-platinum coating.

The charger itself includes:

  • micro port for USB;
  • 2900 mAh lithium-ion battery;
  • contacts designed to charge the heating element;
  • diode indicators showing the level and process of charging, as well as the degree of cleaning of the heater.

Multistage filter:

Aikos filter elements consist of several parts:

1 part. At its core, it is a partition, the task of which is to protect the remaining structural elements from harmful particles.

part 2. It's made from:

  • polyactide;
  • polymer biodegradable film (from starch or sugar cane).

The second sectional stage of the filter maintains the required temperature. In menthol sticks, a special thread impregnated with a solution of menthol is added to this section..

3 part. This is the filter itself, similar to regular cigarettes. It is made from cellulose acetate.

part 4. The mouthpiece with which smoking is carried out.

How to use IQOS

The innovative tobacco heating system is very easy to use. The user removes the device from charging and inserts the stick into it. And then just press the power button for 4-5 seconds. Once the LED stops flickering, iQOS is ready to go.

What is included in the package of a new smoking device

The fact that the gadget is discharging and it is time to charge it is signaled by the color of the diode. 8-10 seconds before full discharge, it changes color from green to orange, and then completely goes out.

By the way, the gadget turns off after one smoking process. Recharging takes about 3-5 minutes. Therefore, as in the case of electronic cigarettes, it will not work to continuously use the device for a long time. Such a detail can be attributed to the significant advantages of IQOS.

The time limit for one smoking process is similar to the usual use of cigarettes. But in the case of vaporizers and ES, the user sometimes stretches the pleasure to 30-40 minutes. This causes significant harm to health. The very process of smoking with IQOS is similar to conventional puffs, but compared to conventional cigarettes, this system has significant advantages.

Advantages of the Tobacco Heating System

The most important and fundamental plus of iQOS is a significant reduction in harm from the use of a tobacco mixture. There is also no ash, which is formed during the smoldering of an ordinary cigarette. There is no smell, which, after habitual smoking, can stay in the room for several days, soaking into clothes, skin and hair.

After applying IQOS, the fragrance disappears from the room or car interior after 4-5 minutes. After all, the main culprit of a persistent cigarette flavor is ash particles, which are absent in iQOS.

This device has significant advantages in comparison with electronic cigarettes. When using IQOS, much less steam is created, which can attract unhealthy interest to the source. Therefore, iQOS can be used on the streets, in restaurants or cafes.

In company stores there are cozy places where you can relax and get acquainted with new products.

The heating tobacco system is not yet subject to the strict regulations on the use of tobacco and cigarette products and the current legislation on the protection of citizens from the harmful effects of tobacco smoke on them. But it is also impossible to classify Aikos as electronic cigarettes - after all, sticks do not contain smoking liquid, but natural tobacco.

The popularity of an innovative way to enjoy smoking is gaining massive momentum. In large cities, megacities, branded product stores are developing rapidly. They have comfortable hotel rooms equipped with easy chairs. In them you can have a good time with friends, try Aykos and have a cup of coffee.

Disadvantages of iQOS

Any thing and device, even the most perfect, upon closer examination, still has drawbacks. What are the disadvantages can be found in this innovative invention?

Price policy

Due to the small distribution of IQOS, the price of the kit is quite high. On average, it is about 7,000-8,000 rubles. The packaging of one stick block varies within 150 rubles. And the sticks will have to be purchased regularly, without them the use of the gadget will become impossible.

But the necessary sticks can be bought at a good discount. To do this, developers regularly hold promotions of the company. And even get it for free if you register on the company's website and subscribe to delivery. In connection with the still insufficiently wide distribution in ordinary stores, it will not be possible to buy sticks, they will have to be ordered via the Internet.

The need to constantly recharge the battery

After each smoking process, the device must be recharged. But, you can make this task easier by using a power bank or charging for phones. The iQOS micro connector has the same standards as smartphones.

Exposure to cold

IQOS batteries are very sensitive to cold. At low temperatures, they quickly lose capacity. This is quite critical for the battery, because its volume is only 120 mAh. Therefore, if you carry a gadget in your pocket or purse in winter, you should allow the device to “warm up” before using it.

conclusions

Of course, smoking is extremely harmful and dangerous to health. It is better never to try to taste the taste of a cigarette, and if there is an experience of smoking, to part with this deadly habit. But, if for some reason it is not possible to quit smoking, you should look for ways that can minimize the harm from tobacco.

By the way, the president of Philip Morris International is sure that after 20-30 years the cigarettes familiar to us will completely disappear from the shelves of markets. In connection with uselessness and lack of demand. After all, people will switch to devices and gadgets that, by helping to meet the needs of smoking, will make this process minimally harmful.

And it is in this regard that most tobacco corporations are developing. The creation of the Aykos system is a direct confirmation of this. And this is not the last invention for smokers who care about their health. Ahead of them, there are still many curious and original devices, with the help of which the harm from smoking, if not disappear, will be minimal.

In contact with

If you smoke, now is the time to transform this habit into a less harmful one. The IQOS system is the first device that allows you to almost completely replace standard cigarettes.

IQOS is a unique patented HeatControl technology that was developed several years ago by a research center in Switzerland. It is a modern alternative to conventional tobacco smoking. In a special branded IQOS Holder, tobacco leaves are heated, they do not burn or smolder, and therefore, ash and smoke do not form.

When using the IQOS heating system while smoking, "tobacco vapor" (aerosol) dissipates very quickly in the air (within 5 minutes), does not have such a strong smell as the smoke from ordinary cigarettes. "Tobacco vapor" does not contain additional chemical impurities.

IQOS is a modern, fashionable and beautiful gadget. It is very stylish and thought out to the smallest detail. It can be smoked in public places in the same way as a hookah, while not harming the health of those around you.

IQOS is equipped with special interchangeable sticks, developed according to a special Swiss technology and an original recipe. This system was the result of many years of scientific research by Western scientists and large-scale financial investments. It is appreciated by smokers in more than 13 countries and is now actively conquering the Russian market. IQOS stores are currently open in many shopping centers in Moscow, the products of this company can be purchased in other large cities, as well as on the Internet. In the salons of the IQOS company there are comfortable soft chairs where you can drink a cup of tea or coffee, smoke and get the necessary advice about products.

The difference between IQOS and regular cigarettes

The original tobacco heating system was developed by the world famous company Philip Morris International. It allows the smoker to experience exactly the same sensations as when smoking regular cigarettes. When using this technology, nicotine enters the central nervous system very quickly, and instead of suffocating smoke, a person consumes steam and feels the pleasant aroma of real tobacco. Everyone knows that when smoking conventional cigarettes, combustion products are formed that cause great harm to human health. Smokers note that when using IQOS, they have lost their cough and there is no smell of “burning” or smoke, and there is no yellow coating on their hands.

Benefits of using:

  1. There are no combustion products;
  2. Has no smell;
  3. The tobacco in the stick heats up evenly;
  4. The sticks have a multi-stage filter;
  5. Causes less damage to health;
  6. Perfect taste of pure tobacco;
  7. No tar is emitted when smoking;
  8. Smoking indoors without residual odors;
  9. An electrical device cannot cause a fire (unlike an unextinguished cigarette butt);
  10. Can be used in public places (no passive smoking).

Unlike the smoldering of a conventional cigarette at ~ 800°C, the IQOS heating element at temperatures below 350°C reveals the natural taste and aroma of tobacco, which reduces the emission of harmful substances by 90-95% relative to the latter. Smokers note that after smoking IQOS there is no smell of tobacco on the hands and mouth, there is no need to ventilate the room.

The difference between IQOS and electronic cigarettes

Electronic cigarettes run on a special nicotine-containing liquid, and replaceable cartridges of the IQOS heating system inside contain specially treated tobacco leaves. Smokers "with experience" note that the tobacco heating system is much better than "bulbulators".

Device

The IQOS Tobacco Heating System is simple and convenient to use anywhere.

The kit includes:


How to use the device

It is necessary to carefully remove the holder from the case and insert a branded tobacco stick with the desired taste (classic or menthol) into it, then press the power button and hold for 2 seconds. After the indicator on the holder lights up with a constant green light, you can take several puffs (no more than 14) within 6 minutes and enjoy a pleasant taste and aroma. 10 seconds before turning off, on the holder
green color changes to orange. This signals that smoking is coming to an end. Tobacco sticks are bought separately in branded departments. The negative side of IQOS is that it cannot be smoked twice in a row, it must be recharged.

IQOS is very well suited for those people who want to get rid of nicotine addiction. The system is sold in Russia and has already gained popularity among young people and middle-aged people. It can be given to an adult smoker. The tobacco heating system has a beautiful and modern design that can only be compared with an iPhone. It looks very aesthetically pleasing and can be used by men and women. It can be smoked at home, in restaurants, cafes, in cars.

The modern world does not stand still. With breakneck speed, new trends and trends are being created that keep pace with the times. The corporations of today are having a hard time given the incredible momentum in the wellness industry. Now if "Cola" - then the "light" version, if flour products - without gluten, if protein - then soy, if cigarettes - then without poisonous resins that poison our lungs and lead to cancer.

Today, many sophisticated users of electronic cigarettes and vapers liked the new product of the Swiss company, which we will talk about in this article. Its tactile and taste benefits have captivated many vapers and nicotine addicts. One has only to try the effect of this product on yourself, and you can forever forget about the usual smoky cigarettes. New technologies break through the barricades of age-old traditions. But who said it's bad?

Tobacco Heating Gadget - IQOS Cigarettes

So, the product of Philip Morris International, "innovation from Swiss scientists", is a simple, but at the same time really ingenious device that could positively affect the lives of many people. We will consider in detail the characteristics and components of IQOS, reviews and recommendations for use.

The gadget's delivery kit is called the IQOS Kit, it contains all the necessary elements to get started: a holder, a pocket charger, a cleaning kit, a power supply, a USB / microUSB cable and, of course, instructions for IQOS.

IQOS is a device for heating tobacco with electricity, it is used together with special tobacco sticks that must be purchased separately, as is the case with regular cigarettes. Sticks for IQOS are shaped like small cigarettes with a filter, but the tobacco inside the wrapper is not cut into strips and stuffed into a paper wrapper, but differs in longitudinal orientation and is laid in strips along the axis of the stick. In fact, there is a resemblance to a cigar in a paper shell. The holder is made of high quality plastic with a matte surface.

The design of the holder is presented from the following set: the main body with contacts at the bottom, in which the battery is installed, a steel tube with a ceramic heating element inside and a removable cap. The pocket charger, like the product itself, is made of white plastic. Outwardly, it resembles a PowerBank with an opening lid, inside there is a socket for the holder. The lid in the closed position is fixed with a latch, and opens by pressing a special button.

The end of the charger has indicators for the charging holder and the charger itself, as well as indicators for the self-cleaning mode of the heating element. Below are two buttons - the button to start the manual cleaning mode and the main power button. On the other side of the IQOS cigarette charging unit, there is a factory marking, information about the manufacturer and model of the device. In order to charge the battery of the gadget, you need to use the microUSB connector, which is located on the bottom of the case.

IQOS Tobacco Heating System:

1. First you need to charge the holder by moving it to the charger.

2. Before use, you need to charge the device using the adapter and cable. Very important: you need to insert the holder with the button forward to the indicator panel of the charger. In fact, inserting the holder incorrectly into the docking station is simply impossible. Therefore, it is not worth making an effort if, upon entering, he does not immediately go inside. Charging status is displayed on the top indicator. It flashes while the holder is charging and turns off when it is charged. At this point, the charger goes into standby mode.

3. Open the cover of the charger, take the holder out of the dock.

5. Check the readiness status by the green signal of the indicator.

6. The tobacco stick must be inserted into the opening of the tobacco part receiver downwards, simply by pressing on it in the filter area.

7. Press and hold the button until the LED starts flashing and release. The heating process of the ceramic blade has started, which lasts about 20 seconds. When the device is ready for use, this will be indicated on the indicator, which will turn on with a constantly flashing green light.

Actually, according to reviews, IQOS are very similar to ordinary cigarettes: you need to pull in yourself. The process is the same, but the result is much nicer.

The most important difference between IQOS and traditional cigarettes is that tobacco and the paper wrapper around it do not burn. If in an ordinary cigarette tobacco smolders at a temperature of 800 degrees, then in the IQOS tobacco heating system it is heated by a ceramic blade to a temperature of 300 degrees. The liquid evaporates and the user inhales the tobacco-flavored vapor and, of course, nicotine. It is worth noting that the concentration of resins and harmful substances is reduced by almost 95-98 percent, that is, the harmful effect is almost negated, and only a pleasant feeling from using IQOS remains. Because of this, doctors' reviews of the smoking system are only positive.

What do ordinary people say about her? The IQOS system has the following reviews.

Users note that with regard to side effects, the situation is much more pleasant than when smoking cigarettes: there is no unpleasant tobacco smoke, there is still some smell when using IQOS, but it rather resembles a subtle aroma of fresh tobacco. There is no ash at all, this is due to the fact that tobacco does not burn. In addition, the use of sticks for IQOS does not give such a strong unpleasant odor as cigarette butts.

Bonuses from using an IQOS device

  • Hands don't stink.
  • There is no characteristic smell from the oral cavity (and if you use a menthol stick, your breath acquires a pleasant smell of menthol).
  • Feel free to use IQOS while indoors and in the car. You can not be afraid of residual odors and ashes.

Quit smoking with IQOS

The manufacturer categorically states that IQOS is not a way to quit smoking cigarettes. But, according to many users, having started smoking at school age, they became addicted to the ritual itself, which speaks more of an emotional than a physiological addiction.

As the experience of smokers shows, after a month of using IQOS, you no longer feel like smoking regular cigarettes, the smell causes vomiting. Cigarette smoke becomes really nasty for them, and they stop going back to regular cigarettes. Thus, tobacco addiction becomes more pleasant and less harmful, because the lungs are freed from the constant exposure to harmful resins. Reviews of doctors confirm this.

Well-being after using IQOS: harm and benefit

A week after using IQOS, users notice that their wheezing in the throat, characteristic of smoking cigarettes, disappears. Tars and harmful small particles enter the lungs of smokers and settle there. Thus, there is hope that with the help of IQOS you can clear your lungs.

Taste of tobacco when using IQOS

After 3-4 sticks, smokers notice that this type of smoking is much better if you spice it up with another cup of good coffee. In total, the manufacturer offers two flavors - traditional and menthol. Menthol, as statistics show, is in great demand.

IQOS price: sticks or cigarettes

As a rule, the percentage of tobacco in a tobacco stick is slightly less than in regular cigarettes. As in a cigarette pack, there are 20 pieces in a package. It is not recommended to smoke more sticks than the number of regular cigarettes smoked. That is, there is a complete replacement. Thus, the price of IQOS sticks will not differ from the cost of ordinary cigarettes, for example, "Parliament". In total, the cost of a smoking kit will be about 3,500 rubles.

It is recommended to clean the holder using the complete set. If you do not follow this recommendation, you may notice the appearance of a bitter taste during smoking. From time to time, the gadget auto-cleans. The "sun" indicator will tell you about it. Like all electronic devices, IQOS can freeze - a crash can occur about once every three weeks. In this case, it saves the possibility of rebooting the device. Resetting occurs by holding the two main buttons - power and self-cleaning. It is necessary to insert the tobacco stick all the way into the holder receiver, because this is what will provide a richer taste.

disadvantages

The disadvantages of this electronic device can be attributed by users to weak indicator LEDs - it is sometimes very difficult to see what is happening with the device in uncomfortable lighting. In addition, the latch of the charger often fails, so it is recommended to close the lid by holding the lock button while closing.

Progress

The world does not stand still, as well as human addictions. Those who until recently thought that their habits can no longer be changed leave positive reviews about the IQOS system. Many say that IQOS really helps to reduce the level of exposure to harmful chemicals in the body, and are surprised to notice that they are irrevocably involved in the process of smoking tobacco sticks.

We often encounter a situation where people try to reduce the number of cigarettes consumed during the day in order to reduce the amount of harmful substances that enter the body during the burning of a regular cigarette. One of the most common and modern methods is electronic vaping, which has helped a large number of happy people get rid of a bad habit!

Now another method has appeared, invented in Switzerland - the main feature of which is heating tobacco to 350 ° C (up to 800 ° C for a regular cigarette), due to which 90% less caustic substances are produced.

The name of this miracle device is the IQOS Tobacco Heating System, which looks like an electronic cigarette (holder), which includes a cigarette case that serves as a portable charger. This device is a salvation for those people who dream of safe smoking. The second plus after taking care of your health is: Complete elimination of the nasty cigarette smell that haunts everywhere and always - settles on hands, hair, such a smell cannot be chewed with chewing gum, it creates enormous discomfort for a non-smoking environment. By purchasing a tobacco heating system, you become a lucky person, to whom the body and the people around you will say “Thank you very much”!

The iQOS cigarette works on special sticks that look like ordinary cigarettes, but shortened, inside of which there is real tobacco. To start using the device, just insert the stick into the device and you can start vaping.

Please note that the sticks cannot be lit and smoked like regular cigarettes, and it is also forbidden to insert regular cigarettes into the device itself. The device works exclusively on "cigarettes" specialized for it. If you violate these terms of use, it may lead to health problems or damage to the device.

If you are used to smoking a certain brand of cigarettes and do not want to change to something else, tobacco sticks are sold in Parliament, Malboro, Kent, etc. “flavors”.

Due to the fact that the tobacco is heated gradually, the vapor is soft with a pleasant rich aroma without the taste of tar, paper and paint.

The system works by pressing the "Fire" button. One stick is enough for about 14 puffs, after which it should be disposed of. The convenience lies in the fact that such a stick retains its shape after use (does not burn, does not crumble), i.e. in what form you inserted it into the system - in the same way you throw it into a regular trash can after use. Sold in packs of 20.

The cigarette case is a portable PowerBank that allows you to fully charge the holder up to 20 uses. To charge the cigarette case, it is enough to connect it to a computer or a power outlet via a USB cable (2A). The time to fully charge is approximately 75 to 120 minutes depending on the model. The IQOS manufacturer has also released many accessories for sale that allow you to make your device even more stylish and convenient to use.

Another advantage of the iQOS electronic cigarette is its small size. The kit can be carried with you in your purse or in your pants pocket, it takes up no more space than a pack of cigarettes.

Since the system runs on real tobacco, iQOS can only be purchased by an adult smoker/

You can buy IQOS in our online store site and you can be sure of its quality, beware of fakes!

Greetings to everyone!))

Can't quit smoking? Do you have a lot of money? There is an alternative to cigarettes! IQOS smoking system! This miracle cigarette has many advantages. But it was not without its downsides, of course.


It took a lot of money to develop it. There are also a lot of specialists. The level of emitted harmful substances is reduced by 90-95% compared to a cigarette.




My husband had not smoked this cigarette for more than three months, but periodically threw the so-called "chewing" tobacco (snus) under his lip. But, having learned about IQOS, he diligently began to beg for it, thinking that it was with him that he would get rid of addiction. This unit cost us 4900 rubles. On the official website it costs more, more than seven thousand. But at the sales offices there is always a promotion (IQOS + a block of cigarettes = 4900 blood).

One pack of sticks costs 150 rubles. Expensive. Sticks only Parliament or Marlborough. We have only a parliament in Russia, as far as I remember. There are mint and regular. Mint is better.))

In general, I personally liked the device. Firstly, this is high quality shredded tobacco (as the manufacturer claims), impregnated with glycerin, then pressed, which is simply heated to a certain temperature without burning (350 degrees. A cigarette burns at 800 "). You smoke (about 15 puffs), the device turns off by itself, you pull out the stick and throw it away. You insert the heater itself into the charging unit (the heater charges for 5-6 minutes), after which you can smoke again. The stick is similar to a cigarette, only twice as short. Pressed tobacco sheets are inserted into the stick.

Secondly, there is no thick smoke when exhaling. For some it's a plus, for some it's a minus. As I understand it, if tobacco is impregnated with glycerin, then on exhalation we get steam.

Thirdly, you can smoke almost everywhere! You don't have to go far. You release little smoke almost no smell. It is there, but it dissipates very quickly, not caustic, not nasty. Even in a taxi with the windows closed, the driver is unlikely to notice that you are smoking. You can smoke even in a restaurant, even in a shopping center, even in your bed. Only those who know this smell will notice. Now I can smell this smell quickly and understand that someone is smoking nearby.

Fourth, no ashes because there is no combustion. No slings needed. This is a plus for the third point. Smoked and disposed of the stick. That's all.))

The taste is completely different, not cigarette, peculiar. But cigarette smokers may find it strange at first. I still recommend trying mint initially, although it becomes boring over time. Regular tobacco doesn't work for me.

Relaxes! Especially me, a non-smoker. I used to smoke, but I was able to quit without any third methods. I just said "STOP" to myself. For me it was not difficult at all. I sometimes smoked IQOS with my husband, I did not think that it was harmful. At least in the city we breathe such terrible things that this cigarette by no means makes it worse. So here it is! She relaxes very well. Already the palms tingle.)) My husband does not tingle.)) And I’m straight back. Out of habit, probably.

Service at all fly away! For about 4-5 months of use, we managed to change the heater three times and once the charging unit. At the same time, everything was fine with them, it's just that my husband gets to the bottom of any garbage. If once the stick has not warmed up properly, it is immediately necessary to change the device. Although he screwed up something. But that's not the point! The device is changed very quickly if you do not like something! Come to the office, say that you are not satisfied and they will replace it with a completely new one. You can come for a whole year while the warranty is valid.

Big money has been invested in offices and services, you can immediately see it. The company has variants of "islands", and there are tsevil establishments. You walk into a cafe. Soft sofas, tables in front of them. You can use free stickers. You will definitely be offered coffee and a couple of chocolate bars. Of course, it’s boring to sit there just like that, but I also saw business uncles there. They sit and discuss their ideas. But if you have any questions or problems with the device, they will not only help you, but also relax you a little.

The people in the office are like a match, cute, many of them have an unusual model appearance.



The kit includes a block for charging the heater, a heater, very high-quality charging (cord + block), various instructions, books + sticks (if the product is on sale).





As far as I know, IQOS is currently only available in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

At the moment, we no longer have the device itself, my husband gave it to a friend, as he gave me his word that he would quit smoking altogether. He quit smoking, but did not get rid of the addiction. Continues to use chewing tobacco. But! He tried to smoke a regular cigarette after IQOS and almost threw up.)) He says that after IQOS he won't be able to smoke cigarettes anymore.)) But, you know, anyone who hasn't smoked for a long time will say that. And you can get used to them very easily and quickly.

In general, I think that it is still better than cigarettes. I read that a cigarette contains at least 600-700 components. During combustion, more than 7 thousand chemical compounds occur. There is no composition on any pack of cigarettes, this is unprofitable.

People, stop smoking cigarettes, stop smoking altogether. Take care of yourself!
