Our progress [H2] Delivering a smoke-free future Find out why Philip Morris International is moving away from cigarettes and our vision of a smoke-free future. 2 min read Find out more 0:59 Hide Transcript Show Transcript Interviewer asks: Ultimately, if your aim is to stop every smoker out there from smoking, why wouldn’t you just stop making cigarettes? Nevena Crljenko, Vice President, Scientific Engagement, Philip Morris International, replies: If Apple stopped producing iPhones today, would people stop using phones? The answer is no. The equivalent of that is if we stopped making cigarettes, a smoker goes tomorrow to the shop, they’ll buy another brand, and we don't have to imagine scenarios: We can look at the countries that actually banned tobacco. Bhutan did it several years ago, banned the use of cigarettes. South Africa, in Covid-times, banned temporarily the sale of tobacco products and alcohol. What happened? The market was flooded with illicit products. So, if there is demand, there will be a supply, and we believe it’s better to phase out cigarettes, obviously. And if more people are switching to smoke-free products, obviously there’ll be less demand for cigarettes.

Find out why harm reduction is so important. Read article 1:13 Hide Transcript Show Transcript Interviewer says: There's a lot of confusion around smoke-free products. What are they? Are they really less harmful than cigarettes? And why are governments banning them completely? There's a lot to unpack, but let's begin with what a smoke-free product is. Nevena Crljenko: Vice President, Scientific Engagement, Philip Morris International, replies: Smoke-free products are very different products than cigarettes are. The most known tobacco product in the world. Cigarettes are lit and burned. And the smoker inhales the smoke. Smoke contains thousands of chemicals, many of which are harmful. Your body is exposed to them and over time it develops into the disease. So the first principle we developed was let's eliminate the burning process. We can eliminate the burning process by a couple of things. We can control the temperature in terms of how we heat tobacco but not burn it. That's heated tobacco products. We can heat the liquid which contains nicotine. This is e-vapor product (e-cigarettes). Or we can create oral products such as nicotine pouches, which basically are not warmed at all. But the key component, irrespective of how different these products are, is that they do not contain the burning, which is the main source of smoking-related diseases.

These products are seen to be glamorized. In fact, people could say that Philip Morris is just going back to the old days of traditional tobacco marketing when it comes to these products. Gizelle Baker, Vice President External Scientific Affairs, Philip Morris International, replies: Well, I think we should first take a step back and look at what people's complaints are. I understand, and there is a concern. We absolutely do not want people seeing these things in a glamorous way. And therefore, you need to make sure that you're marketing these things responsibly. Who gets access to the marketing? Limiting access to the product itself. Making sure you have proper age verification and access prevention type things in place to make sure that these products make it into the hands of adults who smoke. And we need to get people away from cigarettes as fast as possible and as many away from cigarettes as possible. So, in order to do that, and when you think about how you're going to do a behavioral change on that scale, you need to first look at what are the things that people like about smoking. How can we deliver that, but with lower amounts of harm? So, smoking is a very social behavior. We're trying to create a social human experience for people who are seeking that, where they get to try the product, become aware of it, and hopefully make a successful switch away from cigarettes in an environment that supports them in doing so. And then you layer on top of that: Who do we not want to see? We do not want underage people being part of that experience. So, you put age gates in place. You send your invites to adult smokers or adult nicotine users. We need to support the people who are smoking or would otherwise continue to smoke to make this change, which we know is difficult. And to be able to succeed at. Words appear on screen reading: This video is for informational purposes only on the nicotine pouch category manufactures under strict standards.

Dr Gizelle Baker, Vice President of Global Scientific Engagement at Philip Morris International, corrects misinformation about nicotine and cancer. 01:00 Hide Transcript Show Transcript Words appear on screen reading: Let’s talk with Gizelle Baker Interviewer says: One of the scary facts that people talk about all the time is that nicotine in these products is what causes cancer. Gizelle Baker, Vice President External Scientific Affairs, Philip Morris International, replies: Well, that's a understandable confusion, but also a wrong conclusion. Many people think about smoking and they automatically connect it to nicotine. So, people think, well, smoking delivers nicotine so, it must be the nicotine that causes the cancer. I can understand why, but that's factually and scientifically incorrect. We know from the International Agency of Research on Cancer the world-leading experts on cancer. They looked at tobacco in tobacco smoke, and they came up with a list of the compounds in it that cause cancer. And nicotine did not make that list. So, we know it's not causing cancer.

And if they contain nicotine, are they really less harmful than a cigarette? Nevena Crljenko, Vice President, Scientific Engagement, Philip Morris International, replies: Nicotine is I believe, one of the most misunderstood molecules in the world. It’s not a primary cause of smoking-related diseases. It’s not carcinogenic. It is conflated in people’s minds with cigarettes, with smoking, with smoking-related diseases. What it is, is addictive. So it’s part of the problem because it's contained in a cigarette. So it needs to be part of the solution too. Because one of the reasons why people smoke is the nicotine. So obviously the alternatives to smoking have to contain nicotine as well. But if we significantly reduce other compounds that people are consuming while they consume nicotine, we’ve created something which is a better alternative to smoking.

We reported outstanding growth from our international smoke-free business and very robust pricing driving impressive progress, despite a particularly strong prior comparison for both the U.S. and our combustible business. International smoke-free delivered a striking double-digit growth performance across financial metrics led by IQOS, alongside further multi-category contributions from ZYN and VEEV, which reached the joint number one position in Europe within closed pods. At the group level, our smoke-free business represented 43% of total net revenues, an increase of almost two points versus the same period last year. The financial performance of our combustible business was robust, delivering results in line with our mid-term growth model. This was especially remarkable given the notably challenging volume comparison this quarter. In the U.S., ZYN offtake volume grew by plus 10% despite an uneven competitive landscape. As anticipated, segment financial performance was challenging due to the specific combination of impacts this quarter. Overall, our strong and resilient First-Quarter performance reflects the structural growth fundamentals underpinning our business model. Despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, we look ahead with confidence.

[H2] Celebrating 10 years of smoke-free progress Our “PMI: A Story of Innovation” video series takes a fascinating deep dive into the early days of our transformation, the successes we’ve achieved, and the problems we’ve overcome since launching our leading heated tobacco product a decade ago. 1:30 Hide Transcript Show Transcript [H2] PMI: A story of innovation André Calantzopoulos, Chairman of the Board, Philip Morris International (PMI), sitting in an office, speaking to camera: It was a very interesting journey, a very exciting journey with frustrations from time to time, with setbacks. But I think we did the right thing. Music rises and graphics appear showing early designs and the evolution of PMI's heated tobacco products from 1990 to 2023. Text shows title of video: PMI - A Story of Innovation - #05: Never Stop Moira Gilchrist, Chief Communications Officer, PMI, sat in an office, speaking to camera: Being there from the very, very beginning, since it was just an idea that was sketched out on a flip chart to where we are now. And that's, a sense of enormous pride at what we've done. Shea Lih Goh, President, PMI Japan, speaks to camera: Every function within the company has undergone some sort of transformation. Lisa Hook, Member of the Board of Directors, PMI, speaks to camera: It is extraordinary to get to be on this ride. Video cuts to the PMI office building in Lausanne, Switzerland André Calantzopoulos speaks: I have never regretted for a second that we went into this product. What I regret is we didn't have the knowledge and the understanding, I can blame myself for that, to avoid certain of the difficulties and the problems we had in the initial years. Jacek Olczak, CEO of PMI, sat in an office speaking to camera: Knowledge of anything today and you go back in time, you could do things differently. But the knowledge today is the result of experiences you build over the last period. Graphic shows human brain which changes to stacked cubes with text: Knowledge is the result of experiences you build. Lisa Hook speaks: There has never been a moment where the board or the management team has hesitated to keep pushing forward. Urs Bringold, VP Content & Owned Media, PMI, speaks: There was once sort of a visual just to illustrate what one day we would have. The illustration was: you saw a tobacconist shop and you had a side that was like ‘cigarettes’ and on the other hand, you had ‘IQOS’ and all that. And I swear it, a lot of people internally before it launched were like, 'It will never happen' and all that. And now it is, you know. Graphic shows tobacconist shop and text to the left 'Cigarettes' and to the right 'Smoke-free products'. Stefano Volpetti, President Smoke-free Inhalable Products & Chief Commercial Officer, PMI, speaks: The only gift here would be the gift of all the learnings that we had in the last ten years, have it as of day one. Because that would have accelerated this journey. André Calantzopoulos speaks: As executive of a company, you always say, 'If I knew when I started what I know when I finished, that would be a very different company.' Video cuts to the PMI office building in Lausanne. Moira Gilchrist speaks: So, where do we go from here? I think now it's about continuing to build on the science. It's about continuing to listen adults who smoke. Serge Maeder, Global Head of RRP System Innovation, PMI, sat in open-plan office, speaking to camera: We have just opened a small door, but I think we have a lot of options to make this product better. But yes, you're talking to the wrong guy, you’re to talking to the guy whose job is to improve the product going forward. Mimi Kurniawan, Chief Diversity Officer, PMI, speaks: What is the next product, what next innovation? What else? Graphic shows early designs and the evolution of PMI's heated tobacco products from 1990 to 2023. Text reads: What is the next product/innovation? Karlygash Bismeldinova, AGC, Commercial Development Law, PMI, speaks to camera: Never stop. And this is what I really like about PMI. We're always in the process of progress. Emmanuel Babeau, CFO of PMI, speaking to camera: Ten years ago, the level of skepticism, cynicism sometimes, on our ambition to unsmoke the world and become a smoke-free company was very high. Ten years after, I believe that nobody today can seriously challenge how genuine we are in delivering this ambition.

Your Diagnosis
Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.
Information Density
0 / 30
Read the Narrative & headings: do hard facts (prices, dates, numbers) outweigh fluff power-words?
Semantic Coherence
0 / 20
Compare the homepage promise against the sub-page reality. Do they hold the same line?
Trust & Proof
0 / 20
Weigh review mentions against actual external proof links. Claims without verification = theatre.
Commodity Fingerprint
0 / 15
Check headings & narrative against the industry clichés in the setup above.
Identity & Authority
0 / 15
Inspect the schema: is there real Organization/Person identity with sameAs links, or gaps?
Your predicted BS score
0 / 100
Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)
These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.
Information Density
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.
Semantic Alignment
Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.
Trust & Proof
Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
Commodity Fingerprint
Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.
Identity & Authority
Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.
Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

Replace slogan-heavy H2 headings like Inaction has consequences with descriptive, substantive markers of R&D milestones. Integrate independent third-party audit links directly beside internal estimates like the 43 million consumers figure. Add Person schema with sameAs links for all named VPs and scientists to bridge the digital authority gap. Consolidate the Make History messaging into a single page to reduce cross-site concept repetition.
The site content aligns with a high-scale global manufacturing and R&D entity transitioning its industrial output. The data provided, specifically regarding net revenues (43%) and market distribution (108 markets), confirms its status as a massive player in the manufacturing and consumer goods space.
“The score of 30 (Low BS) reflects a high-substance site that is technically transparent but structurally repetitive. The score was primarily driven by Information Density penalties for concept repetition and Commodity Fingerprint penalties for generic career section templates. It avoided higher penalties due to the high volume of hard numbers and dated financial results provided across all pages.”
