At-A-Glance

​​​​​Altria's companies have a strong American heritage stretching back more than 180 years. 
Today, the tobacco industry is changing – and for the better.​ The future of our industry is about innovation, harm reduction and informed consumer choice. With FDA regulation of the tobacco industry in place, we're focusing our tremendous resources, talented people​​ and decades of experience to be the U.S. leader in FDA authorized, non-combustible, reduced-risk products. ​​​
We know that businesses that are great over the long term – like ours – must earn today's success while preparing for tomorrow's opportunities. And we are doing just that. 
​
​Our​ aspiration is to be the
U.S. leader in authorized,
non-combustible,
reduced-risk products.​
​
Our Approach
          
Developing tobacco products that could be lower risk and seeking FDA authorization to communicate reduced harm claims.
 
Providing adult consumers more choices by developing a wider variety of tobacco products across the continuum of risk.
 
Taking a responsible approach that will allow us to continue being the leader in the tobacco industry.​​​​​
​
