      Like many others in the reality of the pandemic, the organizers added an online presentation option for those who could not come due to the unfavorable epidemiological situation. The online format made it possible to significantly expand the circle of participants: young scientists presented 71 reports in the conference sections "Virology", "Biophysics", "Biotechnology" and "Molecular Biology", and 30 scientists spoke via videoconference.

      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.
