22nd Century announces new agreement with Hub to expand distribution

22nd Century announced a new distribution agreement with Hub. 22nd Century’s VL products are now available for purchase by eligible Hub customers as a part of 22nd Century Group’s state and regional rollout program. “Hub is a critical conduit to a growing list of regional, independent and tribal retail outlets in the Midwest, and a highly regarded wholesale tobacco products distributor with more than 60 years in its served markets,” stated John Miller, president of tobacco products for 22nd Century Group. “By adding distribution to Hub’s extensive customer list, 22nd Century can expand retail points of sale in both existing and new served markets for its innovative VLN reduced nicotine content cigarettes, the first and only combustible cigarette to secure a Modified Risk Tobacco Product authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Our VLN brand contains 95% less nicotine than contained in U.S. conventional cigarettes.”
