There are some hurdles adult smokers and tobacco users face in the Philippines. Smoking responsibly means having to go to a designated area. Not to mention there’s also ash and the smell of cigarette smoke which can stick to clothes, hair, and even your breath. So you end up spraying cologne and eating some candies to hide your breath.
Recently, there have been more alternatives to cigarette smoking, and one of the most popular alternatives is IQOS.
The IQOS brand has been around for quite some time, offering an alternative way for adult tobacco users to smoke and enjoy tobacco without the hassles that come with cigarette use.
The new IQOS ILUMA series was launched in the Philippines last October 2023. It was one of the most highly awaited models of IQOS here in the Philippines since the ILUMA series has been available in other countries for quite some time.
Now that it’s finally here, adult smokers can have a better experience with IQOS ILUMA. Its distinct heating technology still gives adult users the same tobacco taste and experience they look for in a cigarette. At the same time, it elevates the experience to an easier and cleaner one.
Compared to their previous models, the IQOS ILUMA series is a lot easier to use. For starters, there’s no blade inside that heats up the tobacco which you have to clean after every few uses. Now, there is a unique heating element inside the tobacco sticks that works well with the induction technology of the device.
With that, all you have to do now is plug in your tobacco stick, and you’re good to go. It even automatically detects when you’ve placed a stick, and it will heat it up for you already. Once you’re done, just pull out the stick, dispose of it properly, and you’re done. To recharge, all you have to do is plug it in via a USB-C cable, which come with the box.
There are multiple accessories to make your IQOS ILUMA devices unique and personal too. Change the color of the ring, add a sleeve case, replace the color of the wrap, and many more. This helps adult users create their unique look for their IQOS ILUMA devices and helps them differentiate their devices from other adult users.
Unlike cigarettes, IQOS devices heats tobacco instead of burning it. As a result, you have no ash and cigarette smoke. While there is still a smell, it dissipates rather quickly. More importantly, it won’t stick to your clothes or fingers. It’s not like a vape either since it uses real tobacco, unlike the liquid found in vape pods. It’s quite literally the best example of an electronic cigarette.
Since IQOS is not like a cigarette, the smell doesn’t linger and there’s no smoke, so you no longer have to go to your balcony and find an ashtray. At the same time, other people won’t be affected by the smell, but you still get the cigarette-like satisfaction.
Of course, you should still be a responsible adult user when using your IQOS in public places. You should always go to designated smoking/vaping areas whenever possible.
So if you’re still using cigarettes to this day, why not try out IQOS? Who knows, it might be something you’ll enjoy since you can enjoy tobacco without the hassles.
If you want to try out the new IQOS ILUMA series, you can do a full 14-day device trial to discover the full heated tobacco experience especially if you come from cigarettes or vapes. You can sign up at the IQOS website 12 to know more.
IQOS is not risk free and provides nicotine, which is addictive. Only for use by adults who would otherwise continue to smoke or use other nicotine products.
