If the tobacco plug is stuck in your cap, remove by gently tapping the cap on a hard surface to extract the tobacco plug, or by using a cleaning pin. 
If you use the pin, simply push the rod outward from the bottom part of the cap.

Tobacco sticks deliver tobacco taste when heated with IQOS Device.
 
Tobacco part consists of the carefully selected, finely ground and specially prepared tobacco that delivers the best taste while heating.

Non-tobacco part consists of:
• Protective wrap - holds the tobacco part of the stick and helps to heat tobacco, not burn it. The wrap is made of flame-retardant paper;
• Air-flow chamber - designed to hold the tobacco plug in place and transfer the aerosol to the cooling plug;
• Filter - made of cellulose acetate. Cellulose acetate is a bioplastic made of modified tree pulp cellulose. Cellulose acetate as commonly used in filters for tobacco products has the most efficient filtration properties. As material, cellulose acetate is non-toxic, odorless, tasteless, and weakly flammable;
• Cooling plug (otherwise known as PLA filter) - made of bio-based plastic made of corn. More specifically PLA is considered a ‘bioplastic’. PLA is also used in the medical, food and beverage industries. The PLA filter is designed to cool down the aerosol generated by the heating tobacco and turn it into an aerosol that is possible to be inhaled

According to the European Directive for Single-Use-Plastics, bioplastics are also considered plastics although they are not made of fossil-based polymers as conventional plastics are made of. PLA is a biodegradable polymer made from renewable resources such as corn starch, and it is a bioplastic.

The taste of tobacco sticks is different from that of cigarettes because tobacco is heated rather than burned.
By heating the tobacco, the true taste of the tobacco is released.
Tobacco sticks are made from a specially selected blend of tobacco in order to provide tobacco taste and satisfaction that replicates as much as possible what adult smokers expect.

Tobacco sticks are designed for the same duration and number of puffs as cigarettes.
