"Philip Morris Cos Inc. (NYSE:MO - news) on Thursday said it is proposing a
name change to Altria Group Inc. Altria is a coined term that comes from
"altus" -- the Latin word for "high" ... ... Coincidentally, news of the
planned change came on the 25th anniversary of the "Great American
Smokeout," a day sponsored by the American Cancer Society to encourage
smokers to quit."

Hahahahaha... What's sad is that this will work... Expect to see them
