CORESTA Smoke Science and Product Technology (SSPT2021)

The Smoke Science & Product Technology conference will have 71 oral presentations that will occur across nine “live” on-line sessions between 18-28 October. In addition, there will be seven presentations given in the Symposium on “Advancing New Alternative Methods (NAMs) for Tobacco Harm Reduction”. The technical program includes an array of presentations covering numerous topics, such as perception and behavior, nicotine science, analytical methods, product chemistry, biomarkers, statistical modeling, and in vitro & in vivo toxicology. Science associated with conventional tobacco products such as combustible cigarettes and emerging tobacco products including e-vapor products, heated tobacco products (HTP), nicotine pouches, and waterpipes, will be presented. Each presentation is pre-recorded, with a “live” question and answer session after each presentation.

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.

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.
