About 22nd Century Group, Inc.

22nd Century is a plant biotechnology company focused on technology which allows it to increase or decrease the level of nicotine in tobacco plants and the level of cannabinoids in hemp/cannabis plants through genetic engineering and plant breeding.

22nd Century is at the center of an intense, worldwide scientific and regulatory movement in support of the Company’s long-standing mission: to reduce the harm caused by smoking. 22nd Century is the only company in the world that has grown commercial crops of proprietary VLNTM tobacco with nicotine content of just 0.4mg per gram of tobacco – at least 95% lower nicotine content than tobacco used in conventional cigarettes. Numerous independent clinical trials using 22nd Century’s proprietary SPECTRUM® research cigarettes – containing VLNTM tobacco – have shown that Very Low Nicotine content cigarettes reduce cravings, reduce consumption of cigarettes, and increase quit attempts.

In 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a plan to enact a reduced nicotine mandate that will require that all cigarettes sold in the United States contain only Very Low Nicotine content tobacco with “minimally or non-addictive levels of nicotine.” At the same time, 22nd Century is preparing a revised Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) application to be submitted to the FDA in order for 22nd Century to become the first – and potentially the only – company to receive an MRTP marketing order from the FDA for a combustible cigarette.
