PM USA introduced the heat-not-burn tobacco product to the Charlotte, N.C., market in mid-July. In addition to bringing IQOS to a new area, PM USA reopened its IQOS boutiques in Atlanta and Richmond following lockdown restrictions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The move into Charlotte comes on the heels of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of Philip Morris International's (PMI) application to market IQOS as a modified risk tobacco product, as Convenience Store News previously reported.

IQOS is the first electronic nicotine product to be granted marketing orders through the FDA's modified risk tobacco process.

PM USA, under an exclusive licensing agreement with PMI, commercializes IQOS in the United States. The FDA's decision includes the IQOS device, Marlboro Heatsticks, Marlboro Smooth Menthol Heatsticks, and Marlboro Fresh Menthol Heatsticks.

"We view this as a significant step towards our vision and we're looking forward to communicating with adult smokers the additional benefits of switching to IQOS," said Altria CEO Billy Gifford during the company's earnings call on July 28. "We're excited to get back on track with our IQOS rollout and our future expansion plans to accelerate adult smoker conversion."

In its third market, PM USA launched "a more disruptive retail fixture that communicates the benefits of real tobacco, no ash, and less odor" and plans to start HeatSticks distribution to retail stores in the next few weeks, Gifford added.
