A new study from Philip Morris International reveals that widespread misconceptions about nicotine are undermining tobacco harm reduction in clinical care. Nearly two-thirds of U.S. healthcare professionals, including primary care doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, mistakenly believe that nicotine causes cancer.
In this episode of RegWatch, filmed on location at the 2025 Global Forum on Nicotine in Warsaw, we unpack the findings with Dr. Pritika Kumar, U.S. Director of Scientific Engagement at Philip Morris International.
We explore why these misconceptions persist, how they impact patient counseling, and what role the FDA could play in helping healthcare providers better understand the continuum of risk across nicotine products.
Dr. Kumar also discusses the science behind PMI’s successful application for a Modified Risk Tobacco Product order for General Snus and IQOS, and what that says about the quality of industry-funded research.
