**PMI Vision**:
It’s Time to Unsmoke.

There is no question that the best choice for all people who smoke is to quit cigarettes and nicotine altogether. But many people don’t. In any given year, about 9 out of 10 people 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.

We’ve built the world’s most successful cigarette company, with the world’s most popular and iconic brands. Now we’ve made a spectacular 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.
