      Summary

      This 18th issue of the Scientific Update, issued in February 2024, discusses how science-based regulation can foster innovation and encourage adult smokers to switch to less harmful alternatives. Finally, we provide an overview of the regulatory landscape in the U.S., where the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to evaluate and authorize smoke-free products. We hope that you find this issue informative, and, as always, we welcome your feedback and questions.

      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.
