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

Both cigarettes and heated tobacco products use real tobacco. 

The difference is that cigarettes burn tobacco, but heated tobacco products heat tobacco instead. This means heated tobacco products give you a smokeless tobacco experience.

Ploom X Advanced is an easy, convenient heated tobacco product that uses cutting-edge HeatFlow technology to heat tobacco sticks from the outside, giving you an exceptional tobacco taste sensation with no smoke and less tobacco smell¹.

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

And when it comes to heated tobacco vs cigarettes, there are a lot of differences so it's tough to make a comparison. You can't smoke tobacco sticks the way you would smoke a conventional cigarette - and you won't be able to use a cigar or cigarette with Ploom X, either.
