Volume and Revenue
Continued growth of the illicit e-vapor market and lack of enforcement have made the operating environment challenging for our businesses, which adhere to federal regulations. We believe this dynamic compromises our ability to achieve these goals, so we are reassessing them and anticipate providing updated smoke-free goals when we have more clarity on how the legitimate e-vapor market may evolve. In the meantime, we remain steadfast in our commitment to our Vision and to building a portfolio of FDA-authorized smoke-free products for adult smokers and adult tobacco consumers currently using smoke-free products.
