      Open Science: An update of the latest results from PMI Science

      We at Philip Morris International have committed to replacing cigarettes with better alternatives as rapidly as possible for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke. We’ve created this space to share our scientific results openly with the scientific community.

       

      Due to the success of our Open Science conference series, we have expanded our series to include a wider range of topics. We have described our recent results, explored important details, and explained the fundamental principles behind our research. 

       

      In August 2022, we were honored to receive a silver Stevie award for Achievement in Science or Technology for our Open Science event series, which has grown from a simple webinar in 2020 to a variety of offerings including live and in-person events.

      Is the Tobacco Heating System's aerosol different from cigarette smoke?

      At PMI, we have conducted several studies, building up a comprehensive understanding of the compounds that make up the aerosol of our Tobacco Heating System. Join this Open Science in Brief to learn more about which chemicals we test for, why those chemicals, and how we conduct our aerosol studies.

      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.
