About Altria
At-A-Glance
Altria's companies have a strong American heritage stretching back more than 200 years. We're a FORTUNE 500 company, proud to call Richmond, Virginia our home.
Our Vision
is to responsibly lead the transition of adult smokers to a smoke-free future and led by Our Cultural Aspiration.
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 focus our tremendous resources and talented people on reducing the risk of tobacco products and preventing underage use, while expanding choices for adult consumers. We're actively preparing for a time where adult smokers overwhelmingly choose smoke-free tobacco products over cigarettes.
Today, our portfolio of smoke-free products and investments includes leading products across heat-not-burn, moist smokeless tobacco, oral nicotine pouches and E-vapor. Our people have achieved decades of industry leadership using our world class sales and distribution system and our experience in managing difficult issues in a highly regulated environment. Now, we bring those capabilities to capture the harm reduction opportunity in the U.S. by:
- expanding our understanding of adult tobacco consumers;
- enhancing our innovative, smoke-free product portfolio;
- creating the external conditions for tobacco harm reduction to succeed; and
- building the commercial engine to responsibly drive transition to smoke-free products.
Of course, even with a marketplace of smoke-free alternatives, we know that many smokers will not switch overnight. It will take time, support and encouragement.
