PMI has been an entirely separate company from Altria and Philip Morris USA since 2008.

In 2022, PMI acquired Swedish Match – a leader in oral nicotine delivery – creating a global smoke-free champion led by the IQOS and ZYN brands. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized versions of PMI’s IQOS electronically heated tobacco devices and Swedish Match’s General Snus as Modified Risk Tobacco Products, and renewal applications for these products are presently pending before the FDA.
