PMSA’s Vice President Sub-Saharan Africa Branislav Bibic is confident that now is South Africa’s time to embrace a smoke-free future with the launch of IQOS ILUMA.

With the proposed new SA Tobacco Bill, PMSA have their work cut out.

According to Bibic, the launch of IQOS ILUMA, Phillip Morris International’s (PMIs) most innovative device yet, represents an important leap forward to accelerate the end of smoking. These devices feature an auto-start function, bladeless technology and leave no residue and no need to clean the device.

‘’This commitment to continuous innovation plays a significant role in our ambition to deliver a smoke-free future,’’ said Bibic.
