Philip Morris International has been moreaggressive about adapting to changing conditions in the tobacco industry, andits initiatives to push alternatives to traditional cigarettes have gained alot of traction. The iQOS heated-tobacco product has become wildly popular inJapan, and other test markets are showing similarly strong growth trajectories.Philip Morris has responded by ramping up production of iQOS-related products,and it hopes to gain FDA approval for iQOS, at which point it would license theproduct to Altria for domestic sale. Still, Philip Morris also has to addressregulation of its traditional cigarettes, and declines in volumes have beenmore severe abroad than they've been in the U.S. market.
