Smoke-free total shipment volume growth measures year-over-year change in PMI's combined smoke-free shipment volume across heated tobacco, oral smoke-free, and e-vapor products.

PMI reported 7.5% growth in smoke-free shipment volume in the second quarter of 2026, to 48.2B equivalent units from 44.8B.

Heated tobacco drove most of the absolute volume

Heated tobacco shipments were 41.8B units, compared with 5.1B oral smoke-free equivalent units and 1.3B e-vapor equivalent units.

The aggregate rate therefore is heavily influenced by heated tobacco.

Equivalent units combine different product forms

PMI uses conversion conventions for oral and e-vapor products to create a portfolio shipment measure.
