Altria Group, Inc. is the largest cigarette company in the U.S., and controls about half of the U.S. tobacco market. It operates its cigarette business through subsidiary Philip Morris USA, which sells the world’s best-selling cigarette brand -- Marlboro. Altria also owns a 29% stake in brewer SABMiller and spun off its Kraft Foods business in March 2007. In 2007, Altria purchased cigar maker John Middleton and in 2008 agreed to acquire smokeless tobacco maker UST.
