      A Single-center, Open-label, Randomized, Controlled, Crossover Study to Investigate the Nicotine Pharmacokinetic Profile and Safety of THS 2.2 Following Single Use in Healthy Smokers Compared to Conventional Cigarettes and Nicotine Gum

      Brief Summary

      The overall goal of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile (rate and the amount of nicotine absorbed) following a single use of the THS 2.2, a candidate Modified Risk Tobacco Product, compared to the PK profiles from a single use of a cigarette (CC) and from a single use of nicotine gum in a Japanese population.

      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.
