☆ Marlboro maker Altria reports declining revenue, citing competition from illicit e-vapor products
  + stars: | 2023-10-26 | by ( Stefan Sykes | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Altria Group, the parent company of Philip Morris USA and the nation's largest tobacco company, reported third-quarter results Thursday that fell short of Wall Street's expectations as demand for its core cigarette business cools and illicit e-vapor products flood the market. The Marlboro maker said its domestic cigarette shipment volume decreased 11.6%, primarily driven by wider declines across the industry and competition from illicit e-vapor products, among other factors. In a conference call with analysts, Altria CEO Billy Gifford said the lack of regulation of illicit e-vapor products has come at the expense of legal operators and approved. Although federal crackdowns have placed more restrictions on the flavors and marketing for tobacco products, illicit operators are skirting many tobacco-related laws and are flooding the market with disposable e-cigarettes that aren't FDA-approved and are illegal to sell. Like many other tobacco companies, Altria is moving beyond traditional, combustible cigarettes and towards smoke-free products.

☆ Marlboro maker Altria’s bet on smoke-free products
  + stars: | 2023-07-01 | by ( Shawn Baldwin | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
But decades of evidence that smoking kills has caused consumption to plummet. The tobacco industry sold fewer than 11 billion packs of cigarettes in the U.S. in 2020, down from more than 21 billion packs two decades earlier, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Altria, the parent company of Philip Morris USA and the nation's largest tobacco company, reported an almost 10% drop in cigarette sales last year compared with the year prior. The maker of Marlboro says it wants to help smokers transition away from cigarettes to what it calls "reduced harm alternatives" such as e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn products. So, are e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn products less harmful than traditional cigarettes?

☆ Philip Morris International CEO aims to make its stock an ESG investment, FT reports

The majority of those sales come from PMI’s “heated tobacco” products, which use electricity to warm, rather than burn, tobacco. “This requires system-level change.”Philip Morris International, headquartered in Switzerland, is the multinational firm that sells Marlboro brand cigarettes in non-US markets. It was spun off in 2008 from Altria Group, which controls Philip Morris USA. That’s especially true in Europe, where ESG accounted for 65% of all flows into ETFs in 2022, according to Morningstar data. Olczak touted PMI’s ESG bona fides on transparency, though he also acknowledged that the use of child labor in tobacco supply chains harmed his company’s ESG rating.

☆ Cigarette companies ordered to display health warning signs at retailers
  + stars: | 2022-12-07 | by ( Stefan Sykes | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Major cigarette companies will soon be required to post signs at retail locations warning of the health effects of smoking, the Justice Department announced. It resulted in a ruling that the cigarette companies were defrauding consumers about the health dangers associated with cigarette smoking. As part of earlier court orders, similar health warning statements in 2017 began appearing in newspaper and TV ads, on cigarette packages and on the companies' websites. The retail signs were the subject of several appeals before an agreement on them was reached this past May, the Justice Department said. The order will apply to about 200,000 U.S. retail locations that have merchandising agreements with the cigarette companies, according to the department.
