Altria

Altria is a prominent tobacco company that has faced significant legal scrutiny regarding the health effects of smoking and the inherent addictiveness of nicotine. The company designs its products with nicotine levels intended to sustain addiction, and all forms of their cigarettes, including low tar and light options, pose serious health risks including various cancers, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses.

In addition to the direct effects of smoking, Altria's products also contribute to the dangers of secondhand smoke, which claims thousands of lives each year and adversely affects the health of non-smokers, particularly children. Despite public perception, there is no safe level of exposure to their products, emphasizing the company's controversial role in public health debates.
