After the five-day study period, the levels of 15 exposed biomarkers in the PT group were significantly lower than in the CC group. Moreover, the magnitude of the decrease in exposed biomarker levels observed in the PT group was similar to that observed in the SA group.

Japan Tobacco said in a report published on its website that the study showed that complete conversion from flammable cigarettes to Ploom TECH significantly reduced exposure and absorption of selected HPHC. Although further research is needed, these results strongly support the potential of Ploom TECH to reduce smoking-related health risks.
