Philip Morris International (PMI), the makers of Marlboro cigarettes, has announced that it will stop manufacturing cigarettes and replace them with alternatives such as e-cigarettes.
“We’ve built the world’s most successful cigarette company, with the world’s most popular and iconic brands,” Philip Morris website said.
“We will be far more than a leading cigarette company. We’re building PMI’s future on smoke-free products that are a much better choice than cigarette smoking. Indeed, our vision – for all of us at PMI – is that these products will one day replace cigarettes,” it wrote.
The company had placed advertisements in major newspapers in UK last week with a New Year’s resolution: “We’re trying to give up cigarettes.”
The newspaper advertisement also said,”No cigarette company has done anything like this before. You might wonder if we really mean it.”
