22nd Century Group Inc (XXII) on April 4, 2017 announced that the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research has published a new study showing how 22nd Century’s Very Low Nicotine (VLN) cigarettes can be part of an effective tobacco control strategy for forward-looking countries like New Zealand. The study concluded that reducing the price of VLN cigarettes compared to regular cigarettes will reduce nicotine dependence and improve health and financial outcomes for smokers.

The New Zealand Government is committed to achieving its “Smokefree 2025” goal, which aims to reduce smoking prevalence and tobacco availability to minimal levels, thereby making New Zealand essentially a “smokefree” nation by 2025. Very Low Nicotine cigarettes have huge potential for helping New Zealand reach its Smokefree 2025 goals. VLN cigarettes have the behavioral and sensory aspects of conventional cigarettes while delivering negligible levels of nicotine. Numerous studies indicate that 22nd Century’s Very Low Nicotine cigarettes, with a nicotine content of 0.4mg/g (95% less nicotine than conventional tobacco), do not support addiction. Conducted by scientists from The University of Canterbury and Health New Zealand, the study entitled: Estimating Demand and Cross-Price Elasticity for Very Low Nicotine Content Cigarettes Using a Simulated Demand Task compared demand for regular cigarettes and Very Low Nicotine cigarettes across several price points. The study confirmed that imposing a modest price differential between conventional cigarettes and VLN cigarettes will result in smokers buying more non-addictive VLN cigarettes.
