*It is unclear that iFuse will remain in the market in Romania, where glo was introduced in 2018.
†Ploom TECH is described as a hybrid between an HTP and a vaporiser. It is to be used with Mevius capsules. Mevius is one of JTI’s best-selling cigarette brands. The capsules contain tobacco that are then heated by vapour.
‡PMI website states that it is developing a new heated nicotine delivery product that has no tobacco, STEEM, among other ‘reduced risk’ products.
§We do not know what TEEPS stands for, it is not included in the product’s description (https://www.pmi.com/smoke-free-products/teeps-carbon-heated-tobacco-product).
