 PROFILE
If Brown & Williamson Tobacco can't convince you that smoking is Kool, it's not for a lack of trying. Led by flagship menthol brand Kool, the unit of British American Tobacco makes more than 20 brands (including bargain brand GPC and premium smoke Lucky Strike) for sale in the US and Asia. It is the #3 US cigarette maker (behind Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds), with about 11% of the market. The firm also makes specialty tobacco products. Brown & Williamson has settled lawsuits regarding smoking-related health care costs with all 50 states. Although the firm has never lost an appeal, lawsuits from individuals and the US government continue; the firm will appeal a $17.6 billion verdict rendered in Florida.
