An Innovative Alternative to Smoking
What Is Heated Tobacco?If you're an adult smoker interested in an alternative to cigarettes, you may want to try heated tobacco as a new option. Ploom uses unique technology engineered to Japanese standards to heat tobacco instead of burning it for a true tobacco taste sensation that's smoke free and more considerate of those around you.
No Smoke, Less Tobacco Smell
Heats Without Burning
Unlike traditional cigarettes that burn tobacco at around 800ºC, Ploom uses unique HeatFlow™ technology to gently heat tobacco at 320ºC. Heated air circulates through real tobacco to release a flavorful vapor, providing a rich tobacco and flavor-filled experience in an innovative new way.
Subtle Aroma
Less tobacco smell
Because Ploom creates no smoke and less tobacco smell, it leaves less smell in your environmental space, and has less negative impact on indoor air quality. This makes Ploom more suited to indoor use and less intrusive to those around you.
The Modern Choice
Less impact on personal hygiene
Ploom also leaves less smell on your clothes and breath, and less visible staining on your teeth, so you can enjoy modern tobacco pleasure with less of an effect on your personal appearance and hygiene.
No Ash
No Charring Means Minimal Cleaning
Since Ploom heats the tobacco instead, the sticks remain in one piece, creating tobacco vapor with no ash and less mess.
What's the Difference?
Our handy chart below will help you understand the differences between heated tobacco vs. vaping vs. smoking.
Heated Tobacco vs. Cigarettes
A more considerate tobacco experience
Heated tobacco devices like Ploom use real tobacco like traditional cigarettes do, but heat the tobacco to create vapor instead of burning it to create smoke. Because the tobacco isn't burned, there's also no ash, no smoke, and less tobacco smell.
Heated Tobacco vs. Vaping
A more genuine tobacco sensation
While both heated tobacco and vaping devices use a similar process of vaporization, heated tobacco devices like Ploom heat real tobacco for a more genuine tobacco taste and sensation than vapes that use flavored e-liquid.
Inside the Ploom Device
How Does It Work?The unique HeatFlow technology inside Ploom is optimized for air flow, gently heating the tobacco stick from the outside to minimize charring and deliver rich tobacco taste. It sustains the optimal temperature throughout your session, for ultimate tobacco pleasure from the first puff to the last.
