Sept 28 (Reuters) - Philip Morris International on Thursday said it would <br>
<br>
be filing a premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) in the United States <br>
<br>
for its iqos one i - https://zenwriting.net/paleriaqid/h1-b-iqos-iluma-prime-taweluue-kthiidiisamhrabphuuaich-iqos-b-h1 ILUMA product in October.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The company at its investor day said that while the PMTA <br>
<br>
timeline remains "hard to predict", it expects the launch of the ILUMA heated tobacco units towards the second half of its three-year <br>
<br>
forecast period of 2024 to 2026.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
IQOS heats up packets of ground tobacco but does not <br>
<br>
burn them, a process the company says potentially results <br>
<br>
in fewer health risks than traditional smoking<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A PMTA is required to sell new tobacco products in the United States, <br>
<br>
with manufacturers required to provide scientific data <br>
<br>
demonstrating a product is appropriate for the protection of public health.<br>
