How Much Nicotine Is in a TEREA Stick? Complete Guide

What the 0.5 mg figure means

PMI Science reports an aerosol nicotine yield of 0.5 ± 0.1 mg from one Tobacco Heating System stick under the ISO machine-puffing regime, depending on the variant. Under the more intensive WHO TobLabNet regime, it reports 1.24 ± 0.15 mg.

These are laboratory aerosol-yield measurements. They are not the total nicotine contained in a tobacco stick, and they are not a guaranteed measure of how much nicotine an individual absorbs.

Why the measurement can change

The reported result depends on the testing method and product variant. Personal intake can also differ with individual use. Percentage labels should not be inferred from aerosol-yield measurements.

Important information

TEREA sticks contain nicotine, which is addictive. Heated-tobacco products are not risk-free and are not smoking-cessation products. This page is for adults aged 21 and over who already use tobacco or nicotine products.

Device compatibility

TEREA sticks are designed for IQOS ILUMA and ILUMA i devices. They are not compatible with older IQOS devices that use a heating blade.
