This report: looks at the background and explains the proposals put forward by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in the US; looks at Imperial's entry into harm reduced products in the context of its major rivals and the impact of the growth of the vaping market on the US cigarette market in its historic context. The question is: are the potential risks being over discounted?

The price of this report includes direct contact with the author of the report and VAT.
