FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Marketing Orders for Three New Chesterfield Box Combusted Cigarettes Manufactured by Philip Morris USA Inc. The Center for Tobacco Products of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has carefully considered the potential environmental impacts of these actions and has concluded that these actions will not have significant effects on the quality of the human environment. Therefore, an environmental impact statement is not required. Philip Morris USA Inc. wishes to introduce three new combusted, filtered cigarettes into interstate commerce for commercial distribution in the United States and submitted to FDA substantial equivalence reports to obtain marketing orders under the provisions of sections 910 and 905(j) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The Agency prepared the programmatic environmental assessment (PEA), dated February 27, 2020, in accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality's regulations (40 CFR Part 1500) implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and FDA’s NEPA regulations (21 CFR 25.40) to support the finding of no significant impact. The evidence supporting this finding is contained in the attached PEA, which is available to the public upon request. The PEA evaluates potential environmental effects due to manufacturing, use, and disposal of the new products. No increased or new types of environmental impacts due to manufacturing are anticipated. The Agency does not foresee use of the new products would result in new or different environmental impacts. The Agency believes that the disposal of the new products is the same as the disposal conditions of other combusted, filtered cigarettes that are currently marketed in the United States. Therefore, the Agency does not foresee adverse impacts to the environment due to the proposed actions as a result of manufacturing, use, and disposal of the new products.

Casenote Who's on First?: Why Philip Morris USA v. Williams Left Juries Confused About Whose Injuries Can Be Considered When Determining Punitive Damages I. INTRODUCTION For the third time in eleven years, the United States Supreme Court imposed constitutional limits on punitive damage awards. In Philip Morris USA v. Williams,' the Court, in a 5-4 decision, held that punitive damages cannot be used to punish a defendant for injuries that the defendant infficted upon nonparties to the case.2 However, the Court also held that injuries to nonparties can be considered when determining the reprehensibility of the defendant's conduct under the "Gore guideposts."3 Nevertheless, this decision is important for trial lawyers for what the Court did not hold.

Answer and Defenses of Respondent Altria Group, Inc., With
PUBLIC response to competition. Altria withdrew its e-vapor products because it concluded that they could not meet FDA’s regulatory requirements, because they lacked consumer appeal, and because they had lost money and had no short- or long-term path to profitability. The minority investment that the FTC challenges, which was designed to make JLI a more successful competitor by, among other things, helping it to successfully navigate complex regulatory hurdles and thereby continue selling its products, does not violate the antitrust laws. Altria submits that, on the full record, and in considering the applicable law, the relief sought by the Complaint should be denied. Altria’s subsidiary, Philip Morris USA, has for more than a century been one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of conventional, combustible cigarettes. In 2012, Altria established a new subsidiary, Nu Mark, to develop reduced-harm tobacco products, recognizing that adult consumers were becoming interested in e-vapor products because they could potentially provide some or all of the satisfaction of combustible cigarettes without the associated tar and without the stigma associated with smoking. Although Altria set up Nu Mark to compete, it did not have scientists or technical experts who were experienced in developing e-vapor products. After failing in its initial efforts to develop a successful product on its own, Altria undertook an acquisition strategy beginning in 2014. All of this was done at a time when the FDA did not regulate e-vapor products. Far from being a “threat to JLI’s market dominance” as the FTC alleges, Altria’s effort was a failure.

38 2000 Tobacco Industry Projects—a Listing (173 pp.) Project “A”: American Tobacco Co. plan from 1959 to enlist Professors Hirsch and Shapiro of NYU’s Institute of Mathematical Science to evaluate “statistical material purporting to show association between smoking and lung cancer.” Hirsch and Shapiro concluded that “such analysis is not feasible because the studies did not employ the methods of mathematical science but represent merely a collection of random data, or counting noses as it were.” Statistical studies of the lung cancer- smoking relation were “utterly meaningless from the mathematical point of view” and that it was “impossible to proceed with a mathematical analysis of the proposition that cigarette smoking is a cause of lung cancer.” AT management concluded that this result was “not surprising” given the “utter paucity of any direct evidence linking smoking with lung canner.”112 Project A: Tobacco Institute plan from 1967 to air three television spots on smoking & health. Continued goal of the Institute to test its ability “to alter public opinion and knowledge of the asserted health hazards of cigarette smoking by using paid print media space.” CEOs in the fall of 1967 had approved the plan, which was supposed to involve “before-and-after opinion surveys on elements of the smoking and health controversy” to measure the impact of TI propaganda on this issue.”113 Spots were apparently refused by the networks in 1970, so plan shifted to Project B. Project A-040: Brown and Williamson effort from 1972 to 114 Project AA: Secret RJR effort from 1982-84 to find out how to improve “the RJR share of market among young adult women.” Appeal would 112 Janet C.
