Using tobacco heated products at festivals


In recent years, nicotine sticks heating products have gained significant traction. Our gloᵀᴹ devices can be the middle ground between traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes, offering an alternative for smokers seeking reduced smoke exposure*. These devices heat specially designed nicotine sticks. Unlike traditional cigarettes, which burn tobacco at high temperatures, nicotine sticks heating devices heat it to release nicotine and flavour without producing smoke.

Nicotine sticks heating devices are usually subject to different legal and regulatory framework than traditional cigarettes. However, music festivals often adopt various policies. When rules about heating devices are unclear, always confirm with the organisers.

*gloᵀᴹ heats nicotine sticks instead of burning it. It generates an aerosol, less odour and no ash compared to a cigarette when smoked. This product is not risk-free and contains nicotine, an addictive substance.
