The History of Ploom

Ploom is something of a globetrotting brand - fastest-growing heated tobacco brand in Japan and is now present in Milan, Madrid, London, Manila, and more.

And if you are wondering why was Ploom created, it was to meet the growing need for a more mindful solution for adult smokers to enjoy tobacco taste in a way that’s more considerate to those around them.

So, when was Ploom founded?

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 pleasure that started more than 50 years ago. And you can find out more by reading our blog, The History of Heated Tobacco.

Ploom brand story, a decade dedicated to innovation

Ploom proudly introduced its first heated tobacco product to the Japanese market in 2013 Since then, innovation has been a constant focus.

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

About Ploom and its philosophy

Ploom is committed to expanding choice for adult smokers in search of 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 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 Mevius sticks are crafted from seed to stick.

Ploom has measured 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 enjoy your tobacco pleasure happy in the knowledge that it will leave less smell on your breath and your clothes after use, not to mention less visible staining on your teeth.

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