      A Single-center, Open-label, Randomized, Controlled, Crossover Study to Investigate the Nicotine Pharmacokinetic Profile and Safety of Tobacco Heating System 2.2 Menthol (THS 2.2 Menthol) Following Single Use in Smoking, Healthy Subjects Compared to Menthol Conventional Cigarettes and Nicotine Gum.

      Brief Summary

      The primary objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile (rate and amount of nicotine absorbed) following a single use of the THS 2.2 Menthol (mTHS), a candidate Modified Risk Tobacco Product, compared to the PK profiles from a single use of a menthol cigarette (mCC) and from a single use of nicotine replacement therapy gum (NRT).

      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.
