Are There Counterfeit IQOS Tobacco Sticks?

IQOS is becoming increasingly popular worldwide, and many Chinese people are seeking agents to purchase it. For those living long-term in Japan, buying it is quite convenient. Foreigners can only buy one unit per day with a passport, and they need to make an appointment in advance. The sales staff will inform you of the specific purchase time, and you can come back with the appointment slip. There is no limit on the number of tobacco sticks you can buy.

　　What are the advantages of IQOS 2.4 Plus?

　　1. What is its principle?

　　As we all know, traditional cigarettes contain tar, and after smoking, the tobacco and tar produce ash and secondhand smoke that pollutes the air. In contrast, IQOS tobacco sticks differ from traditional cigarettes in that they heat the tobacco at low temperatures instead of burning it. This means that after satisfying your craving, the smoke does not turn black like that from burning tobacco, nor does it produce ash or secondhand smoke, and there is no lingering smell on your clothes since there is no combustion and no high-temperature flames present.

　　2. What colors are available for the device?

　　Currently, there are only two colors: black and white.

　　3. How long can the device be used on a full charge?

　　The device consists of a holder and a charging case. The charging case can fully charge the holder about 20 times, and it takes about 4 minutes to fully charge the holder. A tobacco stick can be smoked for about 14 puffs, after which the indicator light on the holder will turn red. After taking two more puffs, the light will go out, indicating the end of that smoking session. This clever design prevents smokers from continuously smoking one stick after another.

　　4.Are there counterfeit IQOS tobacco sticks?

　　Currently, there have been no reports of counterfeit devices, only variations between the Japanese and Russian versions. However, it seems that counterfeit tobacco sticks have emerged, so caution is advised.

　　A few days ago, a user reported that they bought two packs of e-cigarette tobacco sticks and felt something was off after a few days of use. (After using the tobacco sticks, they no longer experienced the burnt taste of traditional cigarettes.)

　　Let's take a look at the differences between counterfeit and genuine IQOS tobacco sticks:

　　5. Can it really help with quitting smoking?

　　This varies from person to person. Some people have successfully quit after using it for a while, while others have found that their smoking frequency has decreased and they have lost interest in traditional cigarettes. Tar in cigarettes is a harmful killer, and this product does not contain tar. Users of IQOS generally report a reduction in cigarette consumption, and it is believed that over time, it can indeed help with quitting smoking.
