Good Conversion Practices and Our Duty to Inform

Before we tell what You shouldn’t do on our page, here are some things You should know about IQOS:
PMI offers a variety of quality, scientifically substantiated smoke-free products that are much better choices than continued smoking. Our vision is that our smoke-free products will one day replace cigarettes.

  1. Cigarette smoking causes serious diseases and is addictive. Without question, the best decision any smoker can make is to quit tobacco and nicotine use altogether.
  2. PMI’s smoke-free products are for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke or use other nicotine products.
  3. We do not offer PMI’s smoke-free products to people who have never used tobacco or nicotine products or who have quit using tobacco and nicotine products. Our smoke-free products are not an alternative to quitting and are not designed as cessation aids.
  4. PMI’s smoke-free products are not risk free and contain nicotine, which is addictive. Switching to a smoke-free product is, however, a much better choice than smoking.
  5. We support our adult smoke-free product users in their journey to full conversion through education and guidance.
  6. For consumers to experience the benefits of smoke-free products, they must switch completely and abandon smoking permanently.
  7. Minors should not use tobacco or nicotine in any form.
  8. Pregnant women, diabetics and people with heart problems should not use any tobacco or nicotine product.
