      Summary

      This 19th issue of the Scientific Update, issued in June 2024, examines the role that nicotine has to play in tobacco harm reduction. Also in this issue, we dive into the history of tobacco plant research, identifying the critical role that Nicotiana tabacum has played in plant biology, virology, and tobacco harm reduction. And finally, this issue highlights the fact that the general public, and even physicians, often misunderstand the risks of nicotine, making it even more important for accurate information to be made available.

      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.
