Philip Morris International Inc.

A major international tobacco company that makes Marlboro cigarettes and is pushing hard into smoke-free products like IQOS heated-tobacco devices, ZYN oral nicotine pouches, and VEEV e-vapor. It began in 1847 when a British tobacconist named Philip Morris opened a shop on London's Bond Street, and the modern company was spun off as its own firm in 2008. A fun quirk: the original storefront sign read "Philip Morris, Esq., Tobacconist and Importer of Fine Seegars."
