Big Tobacco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Big Tobacco is a pejorative term often applied to the tobacco industry in general, or more particularly to the "big three" tobacco corporations in the United States: Philip Morris USA (Altria), Reynolds American (RJR), and Lorillard.[1] The phrase is often used in the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids,[citation needed] TheTruth.com,[citation needed] and other anti-smoking ad campaigns funded by the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement of 1998[citation needed] which involved the four largest original participating manufacturers (OPMs) of United States tobacco companies (Philip Morris Inc., R. J. Reynolds, Lorillard, and Brown & Williamson).[citation needed]
