It’s Time to Unsmoke.

There is no question that the best choice for men and women who smoke is to quit cigarettes and nicotine altogether. But many people don’t. In any given year, about 9 out of 10 men and women who are already smoking will continue: those people deserve access to, and information about, better alternatives. That is why we’re building PMI’s future on smoke-free products and focusing our efforts in switching adults, who choose to continue smoking, to our smoke-free platforms.

In order to achieve this, we are focused on 6 strategic priorities:

- Developing a long-term product and ecosystem portfolio,
- Building societal support of reduced risk products (RRPs),
- Growing our RRP platforms to scale,
- Delivering product launch & customer service agility,
- Achieving cost and cash leadership, and
- Maintaining leadership in conventional cigarettes.

ABOUT OUR VISION

We’ve built the world’s most successful cigarette company, with the world’s most popular and iconic brands. Now we’ve made a dramatic decision. We will be far more than a leading cigarette company. We’re building PMI’s future on smoke-free products that are a much better choice than cigarette smoking. Indeed, our vision - for all of us at PMI - is that these products will one day replace cigarettes.

Why are we doing this? Because we shouldWe understand the millions of men and women who smoke cigarettes. They are looking for less harmful, yet satisfying, alternatives to smoking. We will give them that choice. We have a commitment to our employees and our shareholders. We will fulfill that commitment by pursuing this long-term vision for success. Society expects us to act responsibly. And we are doing just that, by delivering a smoke-free future.And because we now can.
