Altria Group

Altria Group, based in Chester, VA, is a major player in the tobacco industry, associated with well-known brands like R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard, and Philip Morris USA. The company has faced legal requirements to publicly acknowledge the severe health risks linked to smoking, including its role as a leading cause of death in the United States and the harmful effects of secondhand smoke.

Altria's products are highlighted as highly addictive due to their designed nicotine content, which is intended to sustain user dependence. The company has also been mandated to clarify that low tar and light cigarette varieties do not present a safer alternative to regular cigarettes, emphasizing that all forms of smoking pose serious health risks.
