Philip Morris USA introduced three smokeless tobacco products into test market: Taboka in the Indianapolis area in June 2006, Marlboro Snus in the Dallas/Fort Worth area in August 2007, and Marlboro Moist Smokeless Tobacco in the Atlanta area in October 2007. In January 2008, PM USA announced that it was discontinuing the Taboka test market and was introducing Marlboro Snus into test market in the Indianapolis area.
PM USA reports certain types of smokeless tobacco product information to various state and federal agencies. For example, we annually report smokeless tobacco product ingredient information for smokeless tobacco products sold in the U.S. to the Department of Health and Human Services and for smokeless tobacco products sold in Texas to the State of Texas. Some of the information submitted to these agencies on a confidential basis relates to detailed brand recipes which, if disclosed publicly, would compromise our ability to maintain valuable trade secrets for competitive purposes. Therefore, this information is not posted to this website.
