What's the difference between a heated tobacco stick and a cigarette or cigar?

Cigars, cigarettes, and heated tobacco products all contain real tobacco.

The difference is in how they are used. With cigarettes and cigars the tobacco is burnt, but with heated tobacco products, like Ploom, the tobacco is heated instead. This means heated tobacco products provide you with a smokeless tobacco experience.

Ploom AURA is an easy, convenient heated tobacco product that uses innovative HeatFlow technology to heat tobacco sticks from the outside, giving you an exceptional tobacco taste sensation with no smoke and less tobacco smell*.

If you're using Ploom AURA, you'll need to use EVO tobacco sticks to enjoy your heated tobacco experience.

You can't smoke EVO tobacco sticks the way you would smoke a conventional cigarette - and you won't be able to use a cigar or cigarette with Ploom AURA, either. You can read more about smoking alternatives on our blog.
