IQOS ILUMA Tobacco Heater User Manual

Model: DK002129.00

1. Product Overview

The IQOS ILUMA is an advanced tobacco heating device that utilizes the innovative SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM technology. Unlike traditional cigarettes or e-cigarettes that heat liquids, IQOS ILUMA heats specially designed tobacco sticks from within, providing a cleaner experience with no smoke, no ash, and a less persistent odor.

This device is designed for adult users who would otherwise continue to smoke or use other nicotine products. It is not risk-free and provides nicotine, which is addictive.
