Millions of users. Millions of reasons.
And we want to hear everyone of them
IQOS allows LAUs to immerse themselves in the things they love. They feel
proud of the changes they have made and there inevitably comes a defining
moment that makes them realise: this is why I use IQOS.
But it is not for us to write our users’ stories. We are inspired by them, and
they in turn are inspired by each other.
In hearing and sharing these stories, together we can help LAS make the
switch to IQOS and promote advocacy with our LAUs.
