"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
jumping on the legalize pot bandwagon maybe?
