PROFILE |
 |
If Americans smoke 'em, chances are good they got 'em from Philip Morris U.S.A., a subsidiary of the cigarette, beer, and food giant. The #1 US cigarette maker accounts for about half of the US's total cigarette shipments. Its Marlboro brand alone accounts for more than a third of the country's cigarette sales. Its other brands include Benson & Hedges, Merit, Virginia Slims, Parliament, and discount brand Basic. The US tobacco industry has settled smoking-related health care lawsuits with all 50 states, agreeing to pay hundreds of billions of dollars; however, the US government has sued to recover massive health care costs and profits allegedly derived from fraud.
