At this time, the Company has no outstanding requests for information from the FDA, and the Company is confident it has satisfied every FDA requirement for the agency to make a final decision about our application.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMitch Zeller, director of the CTP at the FDA recently presented at the Food and Drug Law Institute\u2019s Tobacco and Nicotine Products Conference and was asked whether the FDA is still considering moving ahead with the agency\u2019s plan to reduce nicotine content in cigarettes to non-addictive levels,\u201d said James A. Mish, chief executive officer of 22nd Century Group. \u201cZeller confirmed that the FDA remains \u2018absolutely committed to everything that was in that plan.\u2019 The continuation of studies to validate the role of reduced nicotine content cigarettes in public health and their potential to reduce and even eliminate tobacco-related diseases and death demonstrate the FDA\u2019s continued commitment to tobacco harm reduction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mish added, \u201cWe are proud to partner with public health researchers and look forward to the next step in the FDA\u2019s plan to reduce the nicotine content of all cigarettes sold in the U.S. to minimally or non-addictive levels. 22nd Century remains the leader in reduced nicotine content tobacco products. We believe when the FDA mandate ultimately goes into effect, we will be well-positioned to capitalize on this tremendous opportunity, and we are committed to licensing our technology to make it possible for every cigarette manufacturer in the U.S. to comply with the standard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Published in 2017, the FDA\u2019s ground-breaking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=jqNfL2jB2ciZZKuAHIS27LLe9bsALpTy3KAfk74-EFp_dS7vYKB92BTje29ckSse0LQ0WfTaBF3qfde0JzYA9lIVhfw6Cjxq4geep0elg983zUYtATUJDmBTT_YrEouOqrh8zUQh9XE0x1V4oah0q8p2RvFySj9BZwihiCTFBqDzseF6xvUdhYyytunW_Zrzaavk634dtvqQSquiVgFLOny4tE6Tu1ru9atvpwkr-aIpddB1XUh2Tm5K1MW2Pcxl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Comprehensive Plan for Tobacco and Nicotine Regulation<\/a> aims to set a product standard for cigarettes that achieves \u201cminimally or non-addictive&#8221; levels of nicotine. Featuring 95 percent less nicotine, the Company\u2019s VLN\u00ae cigarettes, once authorized, would serve as a vanguard for the FDA\u2019s proposed plan. Importantly, the FDA projects that reducing nicotine levels in all combustible cigarettes to just 0.5 milligrams of nicotine per gram of tobacco, a level already achieved by VLN\u00ae, would help five million adult smokers quit one year after implementation, save over eight million American lives by the end of the century, and protect future generations from becoming addicted to cigarettes in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>The FDA authorization of VLN\u00ae will make 22nd Century the first, and likely the only, company in the world to ever achieve a MRTP designation for a combustible cigarette. Once authorized, the company will rollout VLN\u00ae to convenience stores, pharmacies, and other retail tobacco outlets in the U.S. paired with a compelling marketing campaign to introduce adult smokers to the world\u2019s lowest nicotine content cigarette. 22nd Century plans to position VLN\u00ae in the premium price segment of the cigarette market and expects it to deliver corresponding margins.<\/p>\n<p>With more than 34 million smokers in the U.S. and more than 1 billion smokers worldwide, the FDA\u2019s authorization of 22nd Century\u2019s MRTP application has the potential to create significant demand for the Company\u2019s VLN\u00ae cigarettes. 22nd Century believes that achieving just one-quarter of one percent (0.25 percent) market share with this disruptive product could over time drive the Company\u2019s market capitalization more than 10 times higher. In addition, the Company believes that the FDA\u2019s authorization of 22nd Century\u2019s MRTP will open multiple licensing opportunities for 22nd Century\u2019s proprietary reduced nicotine technology in the U.S. and globally.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>SPECTRUM\u00ae<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>SPECTRUM\u00ae research cigarettes were developed in collaboration with FDA, NIDA (a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the National Cancer Institute (NCI). To date, 22nd Century has provided more than 28 million proprietary SPECTRUM\u00ae research cigarettes for numerous independent scientific studies, funded largely by the FDA, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and other U.S. federal government agencies. The studies, using 22nd Century\u2019s reduced nicotine content tobacco cigarettes, show that smokers who use the Company\u2019s products: (i) reduce their nicotine exposure and dependence, (ii) smoke fewer cigarettes per day, (iii) increase their number of smoke-free days, and (iv) double their quit attempts \u2013 all with minimal or no evidence of nicotine withdrawal or compensatory smoking.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About 22nd Century Group,\u00a0Inc.<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>22nd Century Group, Inc.
