Does Philip Morris International Really Want a Smoke-Free World?
For decades, Philip Morris International (NYSE: PM) served smokers across the globe, first as the international division of its former corporate parent and more recently as an independent company. Cigarettes have produced billions of dollars in profits for Philip Morris and will continue to do so in the years to come.
