What is an MRTP?

MRTP stands for Modified Risk Tobacco Product.

MRTP is a designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which means that the product may be marketed with reduced risk or reduced exposure information.

On July 7, 2020, the FDA authorized IQOS to be marketed in the U.S. with reduced exposure information.
The FDA came to this decision after several years of reviewing the scientific evidence provided by Philip Morris International.

IQOS is the first and only tobacco heating system authorized by the US FDA as a Modified Risk Tobacco Product.*

*This does not mean that IQOS is risk-free or that the FDA has approved or endorsed IQOS.
