IQOS Heets

IQOS Heets are a type of tobacco stick containing a specially blended tobacco rolled into a small stick that can be inserted into an IQOS heated tobacco device containing a bladed heating element. As IQOS Heets are heated rather than burned they don’t produce smoke, ash or tar and create significantly less smell than ordinary tobacco found in cigarettes and other tobacco products.

IQOS Heets work by inserting the Heets tobacco sticks into an IQOS heated tobacco device. The heated tobacco system heats up the specially blended tobacco using a bladed heating element, rather than burning. This process produces an inhalable aerosol containing nicotine as well as the true tobacco flavour the ex-smokers may crave. Due to the fact that the Heets are gradually heated rather than burned they produce significantly less of the carcinogenic chemicals found in cigarettes and they also don’t produce any smoke, ash or tar.

Due to some of the components used to create Heets, they cannot be used without an IQOS heated tobacco device. We would strongly advise against trying to use Heets the same way that you would cigarettes as it could be potentially harmful to your health.

According to IQOS each Heets tobacco stick contains 0.5mg of nicotine, which is around the same amount as the average cigarette. However, this information is based on the aerosol produced by the Heets rather than the tobacco within the sticks themselves. Each Heets tobacco stick contains approximately 4.6ml of nicotine within the stick itself but only approximately 0.5mg of this comes from the aerosol emitted.

We would highly recommend that you avoid attempting to smoke Heets like you would a cigarette as using Heets without an IQOS Heets device can be potentially hazardous as they’re not intended to be smoked. Not only would combustion release all of the same hazardous chemicals as a cigarette, but you’d also be inhaling chemicals from the foil-lined paper that surrounds the Heets stick, which would be notably worse for your health.

IQOS have stated that their IQOS Heets tobacco sticks are up to 95% safer than smoking cigarettes as their specially formulated Heets sticks are meant to produce significantly less carcinogens and carbon monoxide than traditional cigarettes. However it’s important to note IQOS Heets sticks for IQOS still contain real tobacco and so some carcinogens are still released - they also contain nicotine which is an addictive substance.

IQOS Heets are not the same as a vape. A vape heats up e-liquid and turns it onto an inhalable vapour that’s composed of just 4 main ingredients, which is a much cleaner and safer method of smoking cessation. IQOS Heets on the other hand contain real tobacco that is heated to produce an aerosol that contains nicotine as well as other potentially harmful substances. Although IQOS Heets are stated as being safer than smoking, they still use real tobacco.

The IQOS Heets price within the UK can vary from store to store, but they cost an average of £6 per pack of 20 tobacco sticks. You can buy IQOS Heets online so long as you are of a legal smoking age within your country or state; if you’re not of legal smoking age you will not be able to buy Heets IQOS is a tobacco product and so is a restricted substance - the same rule applies to both IQOS and Heets.

IQOS Heets last for approximately 6 minutes per tobacco stick or 14 puffs; IQOS Heets have been designed to replicate cigarettes as closely as possible, and so each tobacco stick lasts for approximately the same amount of time as a typical cigarette. So if you get through 10 cigarettes a day, a pack of 20 Heets will last you 2 days. If you’re a heavy smoker and get through a pack of cigarettes a day, you pack of 20 IQOS Heets will last you for the same amount of time.
