Good Conversion Practices for PMI’s Smoke-free Products

PMI offers a variety of quality, scientifically substantiated smoke-free products that are much better choices than continued smoking. Our vision is that our smoke-free products will one day replace cigarettes.

  • Cigarette smoking causes serious diseases and is addictive. Without question, the best decision any smoker can make is to quit tobacco and nicotine use altogether.
  • Anyone under the age of 18 should not use tobacco or nicotine in any form.
  • PMI’s smokefree products are for adults who would otherwise smoke or use nicotine products.
  • PMI’s smokefree products are not intended for people who have never used tobacco or nicotine products or who have quit using tobacco and nicotine products altogether. Our smokefree products are not alternatives to quitting and are not designed as nicotine cessation aids.
  • PMI’s smokefree products are not risk free and contain nicotine, which is addictive. Switching to smokefree products is, however, a better choice than continuing to smoke.
  • We support our adult smokefree product users in their journey to full conversion through education and guidance.
  • For consumers to experience the benefits of smokefree products, they should switch completely and abandon smoking permanently.
  • We inform consumers of safety information about our smokefree products.
