The chief executive of Philip Morris International, the maker of Marlboro outside the United States, said that his company will stop selling cigarettes in Great Britain within a decade, and called on the British government to outlaw cigarettes.
The company plans to buy a British pharmaceutical company which makes asthma inhalers, as part of its corporate goal to become smoke-free.
Philip Morris International is separate from Philip Morris USA, which makes Marlboro cigarettes in the US.
