Altria’s business got a boost from smokers switching back to cigarettes when governments limited access to vaping products. The company’s revenues grew 15% year-over-year and adjusted earnings per share jumped 19% in the first quarter.

Obviously, it's great for big tobacco companies.

But ashtray... think about all the jobs saved!
