Ethical considerations aside. It seems like as long a the federal government allows the sale of tobacco it is hard to see how MO won't continue to make money. Probably a greater fear would be foreign governments obtaining billion dollar judgements against MO in the local countries and then enforcing those judgements in the US. How could the company protect themselves from that? And why is the company not spinning off its food business to shareholders?
