Science is at the core of what we do at Philip Morris International (PMI). So far we have invested over USD 8.1 billion  since 2008 in the development, scientific substantiation, manufacturing, commercialization and continuous innovation for smoke-free products – products that represent better alternatives to cigarettes for adult smokers who would otherwise continue to smoke. We know our science stands up to scrutiny, and we openly share it with the scientific community, regulators, and the general public.

PMIScience.com is operated by Philip Morris International for the purpose of publishing and disseminating scientific information about Philip Morris International’s efforts to develop and assess products that have the potential to reduce individual risk and population harm associated with tobacco use. This site is for use by scientists, the public health and regulatory communities, and other stakeholders with an interest in tobacco policy. The purpose of this site is not for advertising or marketing. It is not intended for use by consumers.

Our RRPs

Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Our RRPs are smoke-free products that produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
