      Summary

      Purpose: To quantify the effect of smoking and smoking cessation on lipid levels. Methods: PubMed was searched to identify publications which reported lipid levels in smokers and non-smokers, as well as articles reporting the effect of smoking cessation on these lipid parameters. A fixed effect model was used to perform the meta-analyses in Revman version 5 if there were at least 3 studies evaluating the same parameter. Results: 17 studies reporting smoking cessation were identified and 70 studies evaluating smoking and lipid parameters levels. We found that smokers had decreased levels of HDL and APO AI.

      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.
