IQOS: The first and only one.

By IQOS Team

FDA decision for IQOS

IQOS is the first and only electronic nicotine product, among tobacco heating products and e-cigarettes, authorized in the US as a Modified Risk Tobacco Product by the FDA, concluding that IQOS is a fundamentally different product compared to cigarettes.

In 2016, we submitted the authorization file to the FDA.

On 7 July 2020, the FDA announced a historic decision.

WHAT DOES THIS DECISION MEAN?

  • IQOS heats the tobacco, but does not burn it.
  • The absence of the combustion significantly reduces the production of harmful and potentially harmful chemicals*.
  • FDA concluded that switching completely from cigarettes to IQOS significantly reduces the body’s exposure to harmful or potentially harmful chemicals.

IQOS is not a risk-free product. It delivers nicotine, which is addictive.
