PMTA..I would say in Q1..There is nothing in the application that the FDA has not seen or paid for. If there is a panel which is customary there will be tobacco company people saying it does not work. There is so much data on XXII's VLN that it will difficult for the dark side to mount much of a complaint. Been testing it for six years. It is not a new invention. It is a better invention.

The big deal is the MRTP. That will be approved by year end in my opinion. Before the MRTP and after the PMTA approval I see the FDA mandating non-addictive combustible cigarettes giving tobacco companies time to retool. Those killing machines at MO, BTI, and PM et al have to stop. Anything short of that will be a disgrace to the health of our nation.
