 2007 Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health 20 Why We Are So Concerned Findings from the J.P. Morgan report  New generation of tobacco products viewed as “only the third major innovation... in the last 50 years”  J.P. Morgan survey found that...  87% of smokers tried quitting for health reasons  91% would be willing to try a reduced-risk cigarette  “Young smokers [18-30] may be particularly receptive to... reduced risk options and willing to experiment with innovative products that are potentially less hazardous to health”  Smokers under 30 are “the key growth segment for global tobacco companies” Source: J.P. Morgan. (2005).

 2007 Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health 21 Additional Findings from the J.P. Morgan Report According to the report, the introduction of filters and “light” cigarettes “shows that successful innovations have the potential to take considerable market share in a short time” “Overwhelming smoker demand for a reduced risk alternative to conventional cigarettes suggests to us that, over a 30-year period, the PREPs category could become as big as the “lights” cigarette segment” OK... good for them and bad for us

 2007 Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health 22 And Let’s Give Wall Street the Last Word... “... if there is an opportunity to develop a reduced-risk cigarette that of course, burns, and tastes very similar to conventional cigarettes, this could possibly prevent people from quitting and may encourage some people to start smoking.”  Salomon Smith Barney, April 2002 (emphasis added)
