Philip Morris USA Inc

Philip Morris USA Inc., based in North Chesterfield, VA, is a significant player in the tobacco industry, alongside its affiliates RJ Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard, and Altria. A federal court has mandated that these companies disclose critical health information concerning the adverse effects of smoking, including its role in causing a range of severe diseases and its high addictiveness due to nicotine.

In addition to the health risks associated with smoking, such as increased mortality and various cancers, the court has also ordered these companies to acknowledge that there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Furthermore, they are required to clarify that low-tar and light cigarettes do not reduce health risks, as they deliver similar amounts of harmful substances as regular cigarettes.
