Common Questions About Heated Tobacco
If you're an adult smoker in Cyprus thinking about switching to heated tobacco, you probably have questions. What is heated tobacco? Does it smell like cigarettes? Can it set off smoke alarms?
This guide answers the most common questions about heated tobacco and how it works, especially if you're considering switching from cigarettes to a smoke-free alternative like IQOS ILUMA.
What Is Heated Tobacco?
Heated tobacco products warm tobacco instead of burning it. You may have heard the term "heat-not-burn" before. This refers to the technology used in devices like IQOS, which is the leading heated tobacco system worldwide.
Unlike cigarettes, IQOS does not burn tobacco. That means no smoke, no ash, and less smell. IQOS uses HeatControl™ Technology to heat tobacco and deliver the taste of real tobacco with cigarette-like experience.

What Is Combustible Tobacco?
Combustible tobacco refers to products that burn tobacco, such as:
• Cigarettes
• Cigars
• Roll-your-own tobacco
Non-combustible tobacco includes
• Heated tobacco (like IQOS)
• Vapes
Heated tobacco is part of the smoke-free category and is designed for adult smokers who want to reduce exposure to smoke and ash.
Does Heated Tobacco Smell?
Yes, but the smell is much less noticeable than cigarette smoke. IQOS ILUMA produces a light tobacco vapor, not smoke, so it does not leave a strong or lingering smell on clothes, hands, or furniture.
