What's the difference between a Heated Tobacco stick and a cigarette or cigar?

While all of these products contain tobacco, the difference is in how they’re used.

With cigarettes and cigars, the tobacco is burned, but with heated tobacco products like Ploom, the tobacco is heated instead. That’s why heated tobacco produces zero smoke and no smell of smoke*, so you can enjoy a more considerate and cleaner experience.

By heating the tobacco sticks from the outside, your Ploom device’s innovative Smart HeatFlow technology gives you amplified tobacco taste and pleasure, without many of the drawbacks of smoking.

To enjoy seamless moments with Ploom, you’ll need to use EVO tobacco sticks. They’re specially designed for use with Ploom’s advanced Smart HeatFlow technology, to give you the ultimate heated tobacco experience.
