Recently, Marco Hannappel, the Southwest Europe Director of Philip Morris International (PMI), stated that around two million smokers in Italy have switched to IQOS. 

 

"We are making rapid progress towards a smoke-free future by providing adult smokers with higher technology alternatives," said Marco.

 

According to PMI's annual report for 2022, the shipment volume of heat-not-burn products in Italy reached 1.23 million, a year-on-year growth of 37.7%. This makes Italy PMI's largest European product market, excluding Russia.
