This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method of 230 respondents who have tried or used IQOS, with data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The research results indicate that customer experience has a positive and significant impact on relationship quality, and relationship quality has a positive and significant impact on purchase intention, loyalty intention, and participation intention. This finding confirms that a positive customer experience plays a crucial role in building the quality of relationships that drive sustainable consumer behavior.
