What is the Difference between TEREA, DELIA (Tobacco Sticks) and LEVIA (Zero Tobacco Sticks)?
TEREA, DELIA and LEVIA are all SMARTCORE STICKS made to be used with IQOS ILUMA devices. LEVIA is the latest flavour innovation for IQOS ILUMA which goes beyond tobacco. Read this article for an introduction to the new LEVIA and learn how it differs from TEREA & DELIA.
Differences Between tobacco sticks: TEREA & DELIA and zero tobacco sticks: LEVIA
TEREA, DELIA and LEVIA sticks are consumables designed exclusively for use with IQOS ILUMA devices. The sticks are made to be inserted into your IQOS ILUMA devices which feature the innovative SMARTCORE induction technology. This heats up the sticks, releasing a nicotine containing aerosol and providing adult users with a satisfying experience. However, they both are not risk free and contain nicotine, which is addictive.
Main differences between tobacco sticks: TEREA & DELIA and zero tobacco sticks: LEVIA
The new LEVIA sticks have a variety of features that distinguish them from TEREA sticks.
1. Zero-Tobacco - One key difference is that TEREA & DELIA contain tobacco whereas LEVIA is a zero-tobacco stick. LEVIA provides unique aromatic sensations, with no tobacco smell. This means adult users can enjoy a satisfying experience with minimal social disturbance compared to cigarettes*.
2. Full Flavour - LEVIA sticks also provide distinguishable flavours that can be experienced to the fullest. They have a neutral carrier that is infused with our flavours and nicotine, allowing the flavours to shine. This provides adult users with nicotine satisfaction whilst maintaining a pleasant smell** and clean aftertaste in the mouth***.

Composition and Technology Differences
The plug in the LEVIA stick is made of cellulose-based ingredients instead of tobacco. It is infused with our distinguishable flavours and nicotine, allowing our flavours to stand out. This means adult users can experience flavours at their fullest, all without tobacco.
The LEVIA pack has a seal which TEREA & DELIA packs do not have. This is to preserve the optimal sensorial experience. LEVIA’s plant-derived plug* tends to easily absorb humidity. With this new sealed packaging, we can ensure product freshness and protect the stick from external humidity.
LEVIA has a different heating profile from TEREA & DELIA, as a lower heating temperature is sufficient in LEVIA to release aerosol for an optimal experience. Compared to TEREA sticks, the heating element has the same functionality but different dimensions and composition.
*The term “derived from plants” exclusively refers to the component parts of the sticks. It does not mean that this product is safer than other sticks used with IQOS ILUMA.
