In today’s fast-paced world, where the health risks of traditional smoking are becoming more apparent, there is a growing need for innovative solutions to reduce the harmful effects on smokers' health. Enter IQOS – a groundbreaking product from Philip Morris International (PMI) that is changing the way we think about smoking, thanks to its unique tobacco-heating technology. Instead of burning tobacco, IQOS heats it at a controlled temperature, releasing authentic flavor without creating smoke, tar, or harmful toxins like traditional cigarettes.

Philip Morris: Leading in Innovation

Philip Morris International, a global leader in the tobacco industry, was recognized as one of Macedonia’s top 200 most successful companies in 2023. This recognition reflects their commitment to innovation, quality, and market success. As the official distributor of IQOS, PMI is leading the transformation from traditional smoking, offering adult smokers an alternative that could reduce health risks.

How Does IQOS Work?

IQOS uses advanced tobacco-heating technology. Unlike traditional cigarettes, which burn tobacco at around 800°C, IQOS heats the tobacco to a precise temperature of around 350°C. This significantly reduces harmful chemicals like tar and carbon monoxide, which are produced when tobacco is burned.

With this technology, IQOS offers a cleaner and simpler experience – no ash, no odor, and no smoke. The specially designed tobacco sticks, known as HEETS, are used exclusively with IQOS devices, providing an authentic tobacco taste while minimizing health risks.

Try IQOS: Scientific Vision and Benefits

IQOS is designed as a better alternative for smokers who want to reduce the risks associated with traditional cigarettes. Early studies suggest that switching from regular cigarettes to IQOS can reduce exposure to harmful substances, potentially improving smokers' health. However, it is important to note that while IQOS may be a less harmful option, it is not completely risk-free – the best choice for health is to quit smoking altogether. For those who can’t or don’t want to quit, IQOS offers a potentially lower-risk alternative.
