22nd Century Group Inc (XXII)

[Paullee]

Colorado is the first state where VLN® cigarettes will be fully rolled out, following an exceptionally successful pilot in the Chicago area earlier this year. Despite continually ranking as one of the healthiest states in the country, more than 12% of adult Coloradans still smoke and more than 5,000 people in the state continue to die each year from smoking highly addictive cigarettes. 22nd Century Group chose Colorado for the first statewide rollout due to Colorado’s rapid progress in permitting and facilitating the sale of VLN® products, as evidenced by being one of the first states in the country to produce an MRTP stamp for VLN® and the second Master Settlement Agreement state to approve listing VLN® for sale in their state.
