    “Fortunately, 22nd Century’s VLN™ technology makes feasible and eminently achievable the FDA’s stated goal of rendering cigarettes minimally or non-addictive,” explained Henry Sicignano, III, President and Chief Executive Officer of 22nd Century Group.

    To make VLNC cigarettes a prompt reality for all smokers, 22nd Century has announced that the Company is willing to license the use of the Company’s VLN™ technology and VLN™ tobacco seeds/plants to all interested companies. The availability of this licensing opportunity from 22nd Century negates any argument by other tobacco companies that contend it is somehow not possible to comply with the planned FDA nicotine reduction mandate.

    “Big tobacco companies now have a choice: Combat, obfuscate and attempt to delay the most important public health initiative of the last 100 years… or demonstrate a genuine commitment to improving the health of their customers,” explained Mr. Sicignano. “Now that 22nd Century’s VLN™ technology is proven and readily available for licensing, it will be interesting to see which Big Tobacco companies genuinely care about smokers… and which are determined to keep their customers addicted to the deadliest consumer product available on the market.”
