Altria Group Works With We Card For New Retail Designs

Altria Group has teamed up with the We Card organization to create updated signage and point-of-sales posters aimed at helping to fight the trend of underage tobacco use. Altria has been a supporter of the tobacco 21 movement which is aimed at raising the minimum age to purchase tobacco products from 18 to 21, making this latest move another step the company has taken to help stop the uptick in tobacco use among teens.
