      Summary

      The objective of this method is to quantify the nitrogen monoxide (NO) and the sum of nitrogen dioxides (NO2) and nitrogen monoxide (NOx) in the Tobacco Heating System (THS) aerosol, referred to as Platform 1 (P1) in the method.

      The method described is used to determine nitrogen oxides in mainstream aerosol from Platform 1 (P1) under Health Canada (HC) smoking regimen.

      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.
