Tobacco

Only one resolution on tobacco appears to have been filed for 2020. The Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia has a proposal that asks Altria “to review corporate adherence to Altria’s principles and policies aimed at discouraging the use of their nicotine delivery products to young people, assess the effectiveness of those polices, and the damage inflicted on our nation’s youth and report the results” by November. A similar resolution last year asked Altria to report on nicotine levels in its cigarettes and reducing them earned 3.9 percent in 2019, about the same as the 4.1 percent it got in 2018 and not enough for resubmission.
