$1000 Invested In Watts Water Technologies 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

MOCKSVILLE, N.C., July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 22nd Century Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XXII#NASDAQ">XXII</a>), the only tobacco products company that has for 27 years led and continues to lead the fight against the harms of smoking driven by nicotine addiction is creating a new pathway to reducing the rate of smoking and related health harms through increasing adoption of its VLN&#xAE; reduced nicotine content cigarette products by additional brands. Our products incorporate proprietary and patented tobacco having 95% less nicotine than tobacco used in highly addictive conventional cigarettes. Decades of peer reviewed studies have shown that the level of nicotine content in 22nd Century's products can reduce both the rate of smoking and the health harms of smoking.
The recently announced partner VLN&#xAE; initiatives, such as Smoker Friendly VLN&#xAE;, Pinnacle VLN&#xAE;, reflect a growing commitment by tobacco brands to accelerate compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's proposed new <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=qlpGKAiiF5amDEZPNG9E1wa0Bx3dDtMM77VR4RbGJWSubkI9NnsX4N1cBnG6QdN_kUoNErrTFIBV7KXnUVtrBN6QnbLszIYZiP-IXRrNi4aZKKYUOwJXlHz20F14ZOUA4rq83ew202ivfMaQwgyfnbs7rflxFw73cB7OOmHanCVTsyNlxkQqi2Ay00DeHYTTwyYQ_Kj6P81tDgEi18eBilqqsUy3Cp81M4rSMJ4ZhIe5XYRnoe5ltraZ32_Hih3F">Tobacco Product Standard for Nicotine Yield of Cigarettes and Certain Other Combusted Tobacco Products</a>, which is intended to curb the harms of smoking.
"The FDA recognizes that nicotine is a highly addictive substance and that to achieve true tobacco harm reduction, nicotine consumption must be addressed. The FDA's new product standard proposed in January is one of many factors that are driving early commercial interest in our VLN reduced nicotine content tobacco products. We are excited to see our customer's brands adding VLN cigarettes to their lineup. This will enhance market availability of VLN cigarettes and offer customers a Tobacco Harm Reduction product that will give the smoker a choice to control their nicotine consumption," said Larry Firestone, Chief Executive Officer of 22nd Century Group. "These commercial launches and our readiness once we receive state approval to scale availability to all 50 states for the entire U.S. cigarette market continues to demonstrate that there need not be any commercial barriers to adopting this FDA policy, which could be the most impactful health decision in a generation."
Formally announced in January 2025, the proposed standard sets a maximum nicotine content of 0.7 mg of nicotine per gram of tobacco in cigarettes and certain other combusted tobacco products, taking effect two years from final approval. VLN&#xAE; based products from 22nd Century are the only combustible cigarette products authorized by the FDA to meet the standard, at an average of 0.5 mg per gram, and the only product that offers consumers a choice about their nicotine consumption.
On implementation of the FDA proposal, people who are addicted and wish to alter their dependency or even quit could have the ability to do so more easily, significantly reducing the morbidity and mortality caused by smoking. Based on FDA's population health model, by the year 2100, in the United States, approximately 48 million youth and young adults who would have otherwise initiated smoking would not start as a result of the proposed product standard.
22nd Century is monitoring comment submissions under the proposed rule and intends to make its own submission before the comment period closes.
This activity follows the 2018 rule making process, which ultimately incorporated many of the suggestions, independent clinical research studies and feasibility data from <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=hu5Ct19R2VxJK1gnvpGqpKi-1bjPVXLyYhiKAu_4DsP23n5DivM-Nbokt2G7wUqlRbM_EMgpddvZzLc2hVHmW655I4SF60Dlx5HKIPOR1MbBGl_BScadSFdFodZvABp9a5M3NwrNt2ZavMxeO6mawHW470JYY6bHFG3mGw3gBng=">22nd Century's comment letter at that time</a>, including:
<ul>
<li>A proposed standard of not more than 0.7mg/g of nicotine content, based on 22nd Century's recommendation of an average of 0.5mg/g,</li>
<li>The fact that our patented low nicotine content tobacco leaf contained in our VLN Products that already meets the standard can be readily sourced in enough quantity to meet demand for reduced nicotine content cigarette products, and</li>
<li>The fact the reduced nicotine content tobacco is an effective way to reduce the rate and harms of smoking, as documented by dozens of peer reviewed and published independent clinical studies using research cigarettes manufactured by 22nd Century &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
The <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=0Muji-qgH5MFNwCDVb86z3wLdp65rxkCvpIGpTpnNfIiwEfFZI8YdRDGe7JKTN_y7BNIAxpGiFJ_3i3Ovfxx35ZmAI1S_-iP-PMpFJVadmBBI5WcCjn4VWoTfpc1k3OK9MuYQNy9mpUOh-gLikypMsac4w8-ysu5Wu_FPebSjUml0znYBoH97FfzgN_mFcB8bqx1EZCXj3eXmfSywdZGvSk-bPPambpvRbGxO-FCE5LN-eQNXrjXDuTyShONIyHszhjR_aBNGKe8FHA8K8JkEca8MWYfhFeU6yL6WB5F1lvtZBOJ33ii_DAcZpVRau6QxS8hTxm_9lGGGk8cFHhwJT9WorjZ3UFxTNPROdVbZ-czEclwanfiP7Tjdih9VtWyP1gFni13VIaofKXo-Qmk1w==">FDA's January 15, 2025 press release</a> announcing the rule includes the following statement from the former FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf, M.D.: "Today's proposal envisions a future where it would be less likely for young people to use cigarettes and more individuals who currently smoke could quit or switch to less harmful products. This action, if finalized, could save many lives and dramatically reduce the burden of severe illness and disability, while also saving huge amounts of money. I hope we can all agree that significantly reducing the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the U.S. is an admirable goal we should all work toward."

12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Wednesday's After-Market Session

Scale AI, a San Francisco startup, recently celebrated a $14.3 billion investment from Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). Shortly afterward, it laid off 14% of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/07/46423783/why-metas-ai-edge-makes-it-the-top-ad-stock-for-2025"> its total staff.</a>
The Details: The artificial intelligence company confirmed Wednesday that it is reducing its workforce by 200 full-time employees.
Among those unscathed is Scale AI&#8217;s founder, billionaire Alexandr Wang, who Meta tapped to lead its AI efforts.
Scale AI's interim CEO, Jason Droege, who stepped into the role after Wang's departure, acknowledged in a memo to staff that the company expanded its generative AI operations too rapidly and developed unnecessary bureaucracy, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/16/scale-ai-cuts-14percent-of-workforce-after-meta-investment-hiring-of-wang.html">CNBC</a>. 
Droege emphasized that Scale AI remains financially strong and well-resourced, despite the cuts.

Droege wrote that these organizational changes are designed to help the company become more agile and better prepared to respond to evolving market demands. 
"This structure will allow us to better serve the customers we have today and win back customers that have slowed down work with us," Droege wrote in the memo.&nbsp;
Droege added that Scale AI intends to boost hiring significantly in the latter half of the year, especially in its application, enterprise and public sector divisions.
At the time of these layoffs, Scale AI employed about 1,400 people globally. Scale AI spokesperson Joe Osborne said that departing employees will receive severance packages. The company will also discontinue work with 500 contractors worldwide. 
Osborne added that the company is restructuring its data business to provide improved solutions for its generative AI customers. The plan is to invest heavily and hire in its enterprise and government AI sectors.
Why It Matters: Meanwhile, Meta has been aggressively hiring AI talent to better compete with industry rivals like OpenAI. CEO Mark Zuckerberg chose Wang to lead Meta's newly established Meta Superintelligence Labs as chief AI officer. Only a handful of Scale AI employees have joined Meta as well.
Meta also recently recruited two <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46434602/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-poaches-top-openai-researchers-jason-wei-and-hyung-won-chung-for-its-superintelligence-lab-report">prominent researchers</a> from OpenAI—Jason Wei and Hyung Won Chung—to join its new superintelligence lab.&nbsp;&nbsp;
This recruitment is part of Meta's broader strategy. The Facebook parent is reportedly making compensation offers as high as $300 million over four years.
