 PROFILE
Smokers that find rising cigarette prices to be a drag can turn to Star Scientific for a quick fix. About 80% of the company's sales come from making and selling four discount cigarette brands (Mainstreet, Sport, Vegas, and G-Smoke) in the US. Star also sells specially cured tobacco; its StarCured process lowers the amounts of cancer-causing agents. (It sold about 19 million pounds of the processed tobacco to cigarette maker Brown & Williamson in 2000.) Star is also developing smoking cessation products such as tobacco-flavored chewing gum and lozenges. CEO and founder Jonnie Williams and Francis O'Donnell together own about 65% of Star, which was formerly known as Star Tobacco & Pharmaceuticals.
