Was registered and under construction until recently. Not sure when published exactly..possibly within last 24 hrs
No one's talking about NZ here? Interesting.
Nice to see you again, Pete. GL to you and all.
Thanks, they had eventually fixed it.
Anyone have any thoughts as to why the xxii logo would suddenly be missing from the website? IT/web developer oversight? it's bugging me lol https://www.xxiicentury.com/
If Biden admin wants to reduce nicotine, XXII has the patents to do it and not affect taste. They will license to MO or be bought out. Strongly urge MO investors to hedge.
Yes....just ahead of uplisting to NYSE
I was there in 2014 as well. It was an uplisting play, pure and simple.
The company was still in it's infancy. Things have changed a little (/sarc) since then..don't you think?
Say what you will about Scott Schaffer (Vangorilla), and I was never a "HTFBS" newsletter sub, but if you looked and read through his DD on XXII at the time..tell me where he was wrong? He mentions the possibility of a nicotine mandate in the future. 3.5 years later, the FDA proposed one.
X22 - Were there no mandate possibility, X22 could be available or in it's final stages of approval. It's really no different than the Spectrum cigarettes used for research. Because of the mandate potential though, we now have VLN in it's final stages which arguably could be more valuable than X22 ever could be.
Their work with hemp/cannabis had barely begun...maybe even hadn't been announced at that time.
There's a lot of salt from the past as things haven't come to pass as fast as many OG's have liked...but to claim that what happened 7 years ago is exactly the same as what's happening here now is irresponsible and manipulative, imo.
Y'all act like you ever doubted perker
Some things never change..
Officially added to federal register this morning.
That's all I see.

Pff...welcome to XXII
How many heart attacks did the FDA cause today....sheesh
FDA issues proposed rule for premarket tobacco product applications as part of commitment to continuing strong oversight of e-cigarettes and other tobacco products
“Our review of premarket product applications will help evaluate the public health benefits and harms of a tobacco product to ensure that those authorized for marketing are appropriate for the protection of public health. This will include understanding the likelihood that those who do not use tobacco products – such as kids – will start using them, as well as the likelihood that tobacco users will stop."

I'm taking it as: So while zero-THC hemp is "neat" it's no longer a necessity, thus not as positive for the company moving forward. They're apparently working to make our hemp more agronomically(?) lucrative and have a 2-year head start. I'm no botanical geneticist, but if it's possible to create a hemp seed that's both zero-THC AND high-CBD yield, I could see that as high-demand product. Could Tom have been alluding to this??
TD Ameritrade saying earnings due out today after market hours.
Dr. Gottlieb, whose wife and three children have remained in their Westport, Conn., home since he took office, said he was weary of the commute and missed his family.
Dr. Gottlieb had been subject to increasing pressure from some Republicans in Congress and his former associates in the conservative movement, for his tough stance against youth vaping and traditional cigarettes. A coalition of influential conservative groups recently asked the White House to block some of the key parts of the F.D.A.’s strategy to prevent youths from vaping; and Republican Senator Richard Burr blasted the commissioner on the Senate floor for his proposal to ban menthol cigarettes.
Dr. Gottlieb said these protests had no role in his departure.
“There’s no intrigue here,” he said, adding that he planned to advance the agency’s pending tobacco regulations before he leaves, in about one month.
Perhaps we could all just read the news item for ourselves and determine the truth:
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/world-leading-cigarette-manufacturer-phillip-morris-international-begins-to-phase-out-cigs-in-favour-a4033981.html
Discern from this what you will, but traditional cigarettes will not simply vanish overnight. The FDA study estimated that if a nicotine reduction standard were in place by 2020, there would still be 1.4% of the population still smoking combustible cigs by the year 2100. It will be a gradual, generational move away from traditional cigs to smokeless, HNB, safely regulated vaping, whatever.
To think that XXII VLN tobacco could not possibly be part of this broader plan is foolish imo. Call me crazy, but I believe the CEO's comments actually help our cause.
Maybe this is the surprise/gift perker is mentioning...House passes it and next day Henry lays down hemp deals. That'd be nice wouldn't it? Just a thought.
Just providing Henry's reason.
Red Sun was a niche product anyway.
The marketing campaign was definitely an odd one, though.
I for one am glad those days are behind us.
"Because RED SUN cigarettes do not contain the Company’s proprietary Very Low Nicotine tobacco, 22nd Century believes that the continued marketing of the brand is inconsistent with the FDA’s plan to drastically reduce nicotine in all combustible cigarettes that are sold in the United States."

Same company trying to help the FDA reduce nicotine across the board would not look good also trying to push a high (extreme!) nicotine product.
Incorrect.
Agree with Jdanger...diversify if you can, but I would simply say XXII is a sink or swim company/stock. It is certainly a long term hold as much hinges on the FDA/State/Federal gov't at this point, followed by anything Big T might have up their sleeves. Bashers will bash, pumpers will pump - but no one truly knows what will happen in the end. I've held a core position since 2011/2012, then began trading the swings. Has worked out decently thus far. Hope to swim, but be prepared to sink.
Best of luck to you.
Should we unbuckle our seatbelts now, perker?
I'm not, this was toward the end of the PR.
"Sadly, this will be the last article penned by Dr. Swauger. Dr. Swauger passed away suddenly on Thursday, April 19, 2018.
“Jim Swauger was an important part of the 22nd Century team… and a good friend as well. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jim’s family,” explained Henry Sicignano III, President and Chief Executive Officer of 22nd Century Group. “Jim Swauger was focused on realizing the potential of Very Low Nicotine cigarettes to greatly reduce the harm caused by smoking. And though Jim will be sorely missed, our team of industry-leading researchers and tobacco harm reduction experts will press forward, seamlessly, in 22nd Century’s campaign to deliver our Company’s remarkable Very Low Nicotine products to the smoking public.”
Here's the whole thing: https://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=77237260
Yes he was...though the PR states he passed away suddenly, indicating it was unexpected.
Wow....RIP Dr. Swauger.
Been waiting seven years
Paula's Donuts is buying us out? Cool! As if her donuts weren't addictive enough...
5 trading days to get to $4. Ok, if that happens I will have flowers delivered to the office.
From 3.50 by thanksgiving to "twenty-fold" by Christmas? That's a stretch even for you perker. But darnit, here's hoping you come through lol.
Could someone more familiar with these direct offerings be so kind as to explain this sentence?
"The change represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share of our common stock of $0.4025 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $2.0567 per share to new investors purchasing the shares in this offering."
Thanks!
Nevermind just found it.
Has Chardan updated their price target since the Gottlieb anncmt at the end of July?
Interesting tweet from Gottlieb today re: missing conference tomorrow. Any speculation?
