Cigarette company (XXII) to make FDA application for modified risk tobacco product.


The interesting thing is their ciggs were actually purchased by the FDA for this study that was just released in the New England Journal of Medicine

- see news:
"The New England Journal of Medicine Publishes Landmark Study Using 22nd Century’s Proprietary Very Low Nicotine Cigarette"

With XXII making submission to FDA using these same ciggs, they could be the ONLY company in the world with FDA's approval to market/advertise as "reduced harm" tobacco or "reduced risk tobacco" product that has been proven to help people quit smoking.

Interesting company to watch I think- Big Tobacco would love to make the advertising claims that XXII's patented cigarettes have shown in the study reported by NEJM- but the FDA won't allow them to

Personal note- I'm a former smoker x 20 years- I quit about 10 years ago...but still developed some mild emphysema/COPD from it- and I'm only 52.

If you smoke- please do everything you can until you quit-and stay quit. Even if it takes a dozen or more attempts- keep on trying until you are successful.
