      Summary

      The health effects of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) have been the subject of numerous literature reviews during the past decade. Most of the investigations, which concluded that exposure to ETS may increase the risk of lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular disease, intrauterine growth retardation, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, are based on epidemiological studies (cf. References 1 to 6). In a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) concluded that ETS “may produce mucous membrane irritation, pulmonary, cardiovascular, reproductive and carcinogenic effects” and that ETS “presents a serious health risk to workers.”

      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. All of our RRPs are smoke-free products that deliver nicotine with far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
