Who Is IQOS For? Target Users

Table of contents
IQOS is made for adults who already smoke or use nicotine and would otherwise keep doing so. It heats tobacco instead of burning it, so there is no ash and less lingering smell than a cigarette. It still contains nicotine, which is addictive, and it is not risk free. If you do not use tobacco, do not start.
Who IQOS is for
- Adult smokers aged 18+ who want to switch from cigarettes to a heated tobacco device.
- Adults who want a real tobacco taste, not the e-liquid flavours of a vape.
- People who do not like ash, lighters and the smell of cigarette smoke on clothes and in the car.
Who should not use IQOS
- Anyone under 18. We sell to adults only, and the driver may ask for an Emirates ID or passport.
- Non-smokers and people who have already quit.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- People with health conditions who have been told to avoid nicotine. Ask your doctor first.
Which IQOS device suits which user
All current IQOS ILUMA devices use TEREA sticks. The main difference is design and how many sessions you get before charging.

Choosing your TEREA sticks
TEREA comes in many flavours, from plain tobacco to menthol and fruit capsule sticks. Editions from different countries have different prices. For a lower price per carton, many customers start with TEREA from Indonesia. Our TEREA flavour guide helps you compare tastes.
What about HEETS users?
If you still use an older blade device such as IQOS 3 DUO, you need HEETS sticks, not TEREA. HEETS are sometimes out of stock with us. If you are buying a new device, an ILUMA model with TEREA is the practical choice.
