FDA – Nicotine Reduction

This FDA decision adds a lot to XXII/s credibility and validity, and will help in many endeavors the company is seeking.

Worth noting is that other cigarette manufactures also have the means to lower nicotine levels without using XXII’s tobacco or patented processes.

“Nicotine levels in cigarettes can be reduced in different ways. Manufacturers can adjust the blend of tobacco leaves or use different types of paper or filters. Nicotine can also be stripped from the leaf in the manufacturing process.

Philip Morris Cos., the company now known as Altria, introduced an ultralow-nicotine cigarette called Next De-Nic, created through a process that stripped the majority of the nicotine from the tobacco leaf similar to the way caffeine is removed from coffee beans.“

Still a lengthy FDA process ahead but the future did get a lot brighter for XXII with this FDA announcement.

XXII’s tobacco and patents should have a important role in any final determination the FDA ends up with.
