[Just one click, and]([youâre in]([!]( The country is bracing for the impact of Hurricane Milton tonight or early tomorrow morning, potentially as a Category 4 storm when it makes landfall. Florida is still reeling from the impact of Helene, and itâs looking like Milton could run through many of the same areas. [Early estimates]( suggest it could cause as much as $175 billion in damage. I wonder how many home insurance companies are going to stick around in Florida after this? Itâs still unclear what the full damage of Helene was, as so many areas in Western North Carolina are now almost impossible to reach without a helicopter. One of my colleagues lives in the area and his house got totally flooded out (thankfully, he and his family are otherwise OK). ð Today, Iâm focused on a company thatâs headquartered in North Carolina just east of the true disaster areas. Go ahead and pull up my Hot Stock Idea ð¥ of the day, 22nd Century Group, Inc. (XXII). When I first brought this stock to your attention last month, it had a killer 100% rally shortly after. In fact, it rallied over 100% TWICE as you can see from the chart below⦠It is clearly capable of big moves, and to close out last week, it jumped an impressive 23% in two days⦠On the downside, I think it is important to keep an eye on the $.16 level, which was the lower support it bounced from last week. If that breaks again, the trend is probably lower. On the other hand, if XXII catches momentum again, keep an eye out for $.22, which was near the peak of the recent surge. If things get really frisky, $.30 acted at resistance a few weeks ago. That would be over 60% higher from here. XXII can obviously move very quickly. Make sure it is on top of your watchlist right now. Yesterday, the company [announced]( that in the last two quarters, it had âraised $11.6 million of equity proceeds and de-levered our balance sheet,â but the stock price dipped a bit nonetheless. The pre-market suggests that traders are responding more favorably today, and we could be looking at a solid bounce as the week goes on. If investors were really tuned into what this company is up to, weâd see a significantly higher stock price. Its operations donât appear to have been impacted by Helene, and thatâs great because this is a company that could help save millions of lives. I think this company has started something truly groundbreaking, and with some tweaks to branding and marketing that are already underway, it could be looking at a very bright future. You see, XXII has a truly unique selling proposition⦠Headquartered in Mocksville, NC â 120 miles east of hard-hit Asheville â the company developed the first market-ready, reduced-nicotine-content tobacco plants, which it uses in cigarettes containing 95% less nicotine. The cigarettes are branded âVLNâ which stands for âvery low nicotine.â Its 60,000-square-foot facility in Mocksville has the [capacity]( to produce 45 million cartons of combusted tobacco products annually and has additional space for expansion. Cigarette manufacturing at XXIIâs Mocksville facility. The company received the first and only FDA [Modified Risk Tobacco Products]( (MRTP) authorization for a combustible cigarette in December 2021. That authorization is reserved for products that âwill significantly reduce harm and the risk of tobacco-related disease to individual tobacco users and benefit the health of the population as a whole.â As youâve probably heard, one of the things that makes cigarettes so addictive is the smoking âritual.â From lighting up to the hand-to-mouth pattern, smoking is a fixation thatâs difficult to break. Some people trying to quit smoking will even start eating things like sunflower seeds to help mimic the ritual. The trouble is that traditional âhelp-you-quitâ products such as nicotine gum and patches do not satisfy the ritual. Thatâs where XXIIâs products come in. Using breakthrough, patent-protected IP to control nicotine biosynthesis in the tobacco plant, the company produces cigarettes and similar products with 95% reduced nicotine. These products allow users to satisfy the smoking ritual while ultimately setting them on the path to quitting. And the company [notes](: âNumerous independent scientific studies, funded largely by the FDA, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and other U.S. federal government agencies, have demonstrated that using reduced nicotine content tobacco cigarettes helps smokers reduce their nicotine exposure and dependence, smoke fewer cigarettes per day, increase their number of smoke-free days, and double their quit attempts â all with minimal or no evidence of nicotine withdrawal or compensatory smoking.â One of the governmentâs few successful public health initiatives has been the anti-smoking campaign, which began in 1964. Due to aggressive government action, [smoking rates fell]( from 42% of U.S. adults in 1965 to just 11.5% in 2021. But the government isnât done yet⦠As part of its â[Comprehensive Plan for Tobacco and Nicotine Regulation](,â the FDA has proposed setting caps on the amount of nicotine allowed in cigarettes. As [this 2023 article]( notes, this plan âwould prohibit the sale of almost all cigarettes that are currently available on the market.â It goes on: âThat is the case because the FDA has authorized the sale of only two very low nicotine cigarettes that are manufactured by 22nd Century Group â VLN King and VLN Menthol King, which have approximately 95% less nicotine than an average cigarette.â (emphasis added) Thatâs right: If the FDA enacted that rule today, only XXII cigarettes would be authorized for sale in the U.S. Thankfully, the company also has a contract manufacturing operations (CMO) side of its business which manufactures low-nicotine products for other brands. The company [says]( it âremains committed to licensing its reduced nicotine content technology and products to every tobacco manufacturer, thereby, enabling industry-wide compliance with the FDAâs proposed nicotine caps.â XXII launched its in-house VLN cigarettes in June last year. By November, the cigarettes [were retailing]( in more than 5,100 stores spanning 23 states. VLN cigarette retailers. Company revenues were up significantly from Q1 to Q2 this year â from $6.5 million to $7.9 million â and thanks to significant cost-cutting, it shrunk its net loss from $21 million in Q2 last year to just $1.6 million this Q2. XXII has a goal to become cash positive by Q1 2025, and it is counting on a rebrand/relaunch of its tobacco products to help get it there. In a [conference call]( for investors in August, CEO Larry Firestone said that while the company believes it has a product that will change peopleâs lives, new branding is needed âto ensure product presence resonates with smokers so they try the brand and develop brand loyalty.â Current branding. The company also expects to expand its CMO revenue, beginning with an April [manufacturing agreement]( to produce branded conventional cigarettes which was expected to increase carton production volumes at the companyâs manufacturing facility by more than 20 percent once fully implemented. And in July, XXII [announced]( âa new agreement for full-scale commercial rollout of its VLN® reduced nicotine content cigarettes in South Korea.â Just last month, it [revealed]( âa commitment from an existing customer to also supply their filtered cigar productsâ to the tune of an anticipated 200,000 cartons or more on an annual basis with shipments expected to begin this quarter. Those are some things that jumped out to me about the company. As you do your own research, be sure to check out [this recent investor presentation](.

Bottom line: XXII is inching up in the pre-market and could be in store for a solid bounce today as traders process yesterdayâs news. Itâs a truly unique and innovative company with regulatorsâ tailwinds at its back. Its revenues have been climbing and its ongoing course corrections could send its stock price significantly higher. No guarantees, of course, but I think this North Carolina-based company deserves to be at the top of your radar this week and especially today. To Your Success, Jeff Bishop P.S.
