What Is Philip Morris International Smoking? CEO Calls for Banning Cigarettes Within a Decade

The answer is, they probably won't -- and Philip Morris International (NYSE: PM) may regret calling on the U.K.'s government to ban cigarettes in 10 years.

The U.K. has said it will ban all vehicles with internal combustion engines by 2030.
