Dr Roger Penn is a well known figure in the global tobacco industry. Most know him from his 22 years at leading flavor/fragrances houses Firmenich, IFF, and most recently Mane Suisse. He is now the principal consultant for Las Casucha Consulting working form his bases in Indonesia and France. Roger’s experience in toxicology and developing tobacco products with major manufacturers goes back a long way and today, he’s here to talk about the history and development of smokeless cigarettes (or heat-not-burn products or heated tobacco products) going back to the late 1980s.
