      A Controlled, 3-arm Parallel Group Study to Demonstrate Reduction in Exposure to Smoke Constituents in Healthy Smokers Switching to THS 2.2 or to Smoking Abstinence, Compared to Conventional Cigarettes for 5 Days in Confinement

      Brief Summary

      The overall goal of the study is to evaluate if the ad libitum use of the Tobacco Heating System 2.2 (THS 2.2) for 5 consecutive days by adult Japanese healthy smokers affects the levels of biomarkers of exposure for selected harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) compared to smoking conventional cigarettes (CC) and smoking abstinence (SA).

      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.
