Smoke-free approach

    Our mission

    In 2016, Philip Morris International (PMI) announced our vision of a smoke-free future and our ambition to accelerate the end of smoking. To achieve this, we are working to replace cigarettes with less harmful tobacco and nicotine products for the benefit of adults who would otherwise continue to smoke.

    OPEN SCIENCE

    Discover PMI’s Open Science

    Our Open Science event series is an important platform for sharing our scientific research and engaging with the scientists, medical professionals, public health experts, regulators, journalists, and members of the public on topics such as tobacco harm reduction, eliminating combustion, developing smoke-free products, and the potential health impact of our products. Since June 2020, we have hosted more than 10 sessions, both virtually and in person, creating an open dialogue with the global scientific and wider community.

    PRODUCT TECHNOLOGIES

    Our smoke-free products

    Smoke-free products is the term Philip Morris International (PMI) uses to refer to products that provide nicotine without burning tobacco. These products deliver nicotine and far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents compared with cigarette smoke. Because no combustion takes place, smoke-free products have the potential to present less risk of harm to adult smokers who switch to them versus continuing to smoke.
