      A Randomized, Controlled, Open-label, 3-arm Parallel Group, Multi-center Study to Demonstrate Reductions in Exposure to Selected Smoke Constituents in Apparently Healthy Smokers Switching to the Tobacco Heating System 2.2 Menthol (THS 2.2 Menthol) or Observing Smoking Abstinence, Compared to Continuing to Use Menthol Conventional Cigarettes, for 5 Days in Confinement and Prolonged by 86 Days in an Ambulatory Setting

      Brief Summary

      Evaluate if the ad libitum use of the THS 2.2 Menthol (mTHS), a candidate Modified Risk Tobacco Product, for 5 days in confinement, and after 86 days in an ambulatory setting, by apparently adult healthy smokers results in a reduction in the levels of biomarkers of exposure (BoExp) to selected harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs).

      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.
