The History of Ploom

Ploom is something of a globetrotting brand - it was imagined in California and enhanced in Japan.

And if you are wondering why Ploom was created, it was in response to the search of a smoke-free alternative. To meet the growing need for a more mindful solution for adult smokers to experience tobacco taste in a way that’s more considerate to those around them, Ploom has developed heated tobacco experiences that delivers a rich tobacco taste.

Ploom started life as a San Francisco start-up in the 00s when its founders went in search of a way to release all the flavor and aroma of tobacco without burning it. 

Ploom heated tobacco history is part of a scientific journey towards smoke-free, less tobacco smell and ash-free tobacco experience that started more than 50 years ago. And you can find out more by reading our blog, The History of Heated Tobacco.

Ploom proudly introduced its first heated tobacco product to the Japanese market in 2013 Since then, innovation has been a constant focus, and Ploom has gone on to launch Ploom S in 2019 and Ploom X Advanced in 2021.

Ploom X Advanced is setting the standard for delivering rich tobacco taste with no smoke, ash, and less tobacco smell².

Ploom is committed to expanding choice for adult smokers in search of smoke-free tobacco enjoyment. It has achieved that by putting science and innovation at the core of everything it does.

From its first heated tobacco devices to the new generation Ploom X Advanced, Ploom has strived to create unique tech solutions. That applies to everything from the sleek and stylish exterior of Ploom X Advanced to the exclusive HeatFlow technology inside it. It also defines how its our sticks are crafted from seed to stick.

Ploom has measured everything including how swapping to heated tobacco can positively impact personal hygiene and the environment around you – be that at home, at work, in the car, or on the go.

That means you can experience your tobacco knowing that it will leave less smell on your breath³ and your clothes⁴ after use, not to mention less visible staining on your teeth⁵.

There’s also the comfort of knowing that because Ploom X Advanced produces less tobacco smell², it’s more suited to indoor use and less intrusive to those around you⁶.
