Have you ever wondered what motivates the CEO of one of the world’s largest international tobacco companies the most? It may surprise you to learn Jacek Olczak, CEO of Philip Morris International, is driven by a vision to make the world smoke-free.

Born an optimist and raised a pragmatist, Jacek Olczak is working toward a smoke-free future where cigarettes are replaced with less harmful, smoke-free alternatives for adults who would otherwise continue smoking.

PMI has been on this journey toward a smoke-free future for more than 10 years now. We’ve invested more than USD 8 billion in research and development as of March 2021, and employed hundreds of scientists, engineers, and technicians to help create innovative smoke-free products. They are not risk-free, but represent a much better choice for adults than continuing to smoke cigarettes.

We know we cannot create a smoke-free future alone. Collaboration and transparency are key. That’s why we’re working closely with scientists, governments, and public health experts to earn the trust and active cooperation needed to make our vision a reality.
