Philip Morris International Global Travel Retail launches smoke-free digital platform for travellers

Philip Morris International (PMI) Global Travel Retail (GTR) today announced the launch of smokefreetravel.com, its first dedicated global website.

The digital platform is designed to provide legal-age nicotine users information on the availability of PMI’s smoke-free products across key global airports and in domestic markets.

PMI GTR said it developed smokefreetravel.com having recognised that more than 50% of adult travellers actively research and plan their nicotine product purchases before travelling.

Available in English, the platform offers “a seamless, user-friendly interface through which legal-age nicotine users can explore the availability of PMI’s smoke-free products during their trip”, the company noted. The website is available in both desktop and mobile versions (iOS and Android).

“As a frontrunner in shaping the global travel retail landscape, PMI GTR continues to lead with innovation and a steadfast consumer-first mindset,” said PMI Global Travel Retail Vice President Beste Ermaner.

“With the launch of the Smoke-Free Travel website, over 360 million legal-age nicotine users travelling across the globe now have direct access to this dedicated digital platform that significantly advances PMI’s smoke-free transformation and our commitment to offering better alternatives.”

As the mid-year northern hemisphere travel season approaches, the site is set to maximise its impact during peak travel periods, serving as a vital multi-category platform precisely tailored only for legal-age nicotine users, said PMI.

Smokefreetravel.com will be accessible in most countries where PMI smoke-free products are available and incorporates an age-verification gate to restrict access to adult users only.
