Tobacco giant Philip Morris International is running new ads claiming they’re “delivering a smoke-free future.”

What they don’t tell you: They sold over 600 billion cigarettes in 2023, their cigarette sales are up this year and their best-selling Marlboro cigarettes have their highest market share since 2008.
