Philip Morris to invest 300 million euros in Greece for smoke-free productMarlboro maker Philip Morris will invest 300 million euros ($323.76 million) in its Greek unit Papastratos to convert the cigarette plant into a maker of tobacco sticks for its smokeless IQOS product, executives said on Thursday.Launched in 2014, the IQOS device heats real tobacco refills to produce tobacco-flavoured vapor instead of burning it, which produces hazardous smoke and tar. It is effectively hybrid real and electronic cigarettes.The project will entail three new buildings at Papastratos' facility in Aspropyrgos, outside Athens, with new lines of tobacco processing and production of refills for IQOS. Executives said it will create 400 new jobs.Papastratos, which currently manufactures 12 billion cigarettes annually and exports 60 percent, will be turning out 20 billion refills a year, absorbing a significant amount of Greek tobacco production.
