22nd Century's proprietary very low nicotine (VLN) tobacco blends have the world’s lowest nicotine content: up to 97% LESS NICOTINE than the tobacco in the leading “light” cigarette brands.
It is crucial for public health that both, better quitting aids, AND modified-risk cigarettes are made available to the public; 50% of U.S. smokers attempt to quit smoking each year, yet only 2% to 5% actually succeed.
22nd Century owns or exclusively controls 99 issued patents in 79 countries where at least 75% of the world’s smokers reside.
22nd Century is committed to developing and commercializing: (i) the world’s most effective and acceptable smoking cessation aid and, for those smokers who do not desire to quit smoking, (ii) consumer-acceptable modified risk tobacco products that reduce exposure to smoke toxins compared to conventional cigarettes.
