Is TEREA Less Harmful Than Cigarettes? What We Can and Cannot Say
Short answer: we cannot tell you that TEREA is less harmful than cigarettes, and we do not make that claim. TEREA is a tobacco product. It contains nicotine, nicotine is addictive, and using TEREA is not risk-free.
What TEREA is
TEREA sticks contain real tobacco and are made for IQOS ILUMA devices. The device heats the tobacco by induction instead of burning it, so there is no flame and no ash. That is a description of how the product works. It is not a statement about its effect on your health.
What we can and cannot say
- TEREA contains tobacco and nicotine. Nicotine is addictive.
- Using TEREA is not risk-free, and it is not a safe alternative to smoking.
- We are a retailer, not a medical source, so we do not compare the health effects of TEREA and cigarettes.
- For questions about your health, speak to a doctor or another qualified health professional.
Who TEREA is for
TEREA is intended only for adults who already smoke or use nicotine products and who would otherwise continue to do so. If you do not smoke or use nicotine, do not start. If you want to protect your health, the best choice is to stop using tobacco and nicotine altogether.
What we can help with
We can help with practical questions: which TEREA sticks are available, which IQOS ILUMA i devices they work with, and how delivery works in the UAE.
Warning: TEREA and IQOS products are for adult smokers of legal age only. They contain tobacco and nicotine. Nicotine is addictive.
