Philip Morris International still makes most of its money from cigarettes, where higher prices offset shrinking volumes. Its future is increasingly tied to products that deliver nicotine without burning tobacco: IQOS heated sticks, ZYN pouches, and VEEV vaping products. The old cigarette engine supplies the cash while the smoke-free side takes a larger share of sales.

Combustible Tobacco Products
Cigarettes brought in $23.79B in FY2025; higher prices lifted revenue 2.5% even as shipments fell 1.5%. Watch whether pricing can keep outrunning the long decline in smoking.
Competes with Dunhill (British American Tobacco) · Lucky Strike (British American Tobacco) · Winston (Japan Tobacco) · Camel (Japan Tobacco)
In plain English
Cigarettes remain the company’s biggest business and its main source of cash. Philip Morris sells cartons to distributors, wholesalers, retailers, and duty-free shops; adult smokers buy them repeatedly, so raising the price can keep sales dollars growing even when fewer cigarettes leave the factory.
That engine is slowly shrinking by volume, but it still funds factories and the push into smoke-free products. Sales also pass through two unusually large, unnamed distributors: one serving Europe supplied 12% of all company revenue, while one serving East Asia, Australia, and duty-free shops supplied 10%.
IQOS
IQOS shipped 155.1B specially made tobacco sticks in FY2025, up 11%. Its repeat-stick model is the center of the smoke-free shift; watch product approvals, tobacco taxes, and rival Ploom’s faster growth.
Competes with glo Hilo (British American Tobacco) · Neo (British American Tobacco) · Ploom AURA (Japan Tobacco) · Ploom X (Japan Tobacco)
In plain English
Think of a coffee machine and its fitted capsules. IQOS is a handheld heater that warms specially made tobacco sticks instead of burning them; TEREA and HEETS are two of the refill lines designed for it.
An adult smoker buys the device, then keeps returning for sticks. Philip Morris earns from those repeat purchases through shops, its own boutiques, online stores, and duty-free sellers. The system works only where regulators allow it and where the device and stick match, while changes in tobacco taxes can quickly change what buyers choose.
ZYN
ZYN shipped 880M cans in FY2025, mostly in the United States. New U.S. products won approval in August 2026; watch whether the wider range and new factory capacity revive growth after U.S. revenue was flat in Q2 2026.
Competes with on! (Altria) · on! PLUS (Altria) · Velo (British American Tobacco)
In plain English
No heater or vapor is needed. ZYN is a small nicotine pouch used in the mouth, sold by the can through ordinary retailers. Adults who choose it return for more cans, making availability on store shelves the heart of the business.
The United States takes nearly all of Philip Morris’s ZYN shipments, so that country’s product approvals and factory output set the pace. The company expanded what it may sell there in 2026 and opened more production capacity, but short-term sales can still wobble when stores change how much inventory they hold or promotions change.
General
General anchors a small, older oral-tobacco line. Volume across Philip Morris’s wider oral range fell 1.2% in Q2 2026 as Nordic snus weakened; watch shoppers’ move toward newer nicotine pouches.
Competes with Skruf (Imperial Brands) · Granit (British American Tobacco) · Mocca (British American Tobacco)
In plain English
General sells snus: small portions of tobacco used in the mouth and bought by the can. It needs no electronic device, so the sale is simple—make the portions, place cans in grocery and convenience stores or online, and earn again when regular users replenish them.
This is an established Nordic and U.S. business rather than the fast-growing center of the portfolio. Its challenge is substitution: online buying data from Scandinavia showed newer nicotine pouches overtaking snus in 2025. Taxes, local rules, and the conditions attached to U.S. regulator orders also shape what can be sold.
VEEV
VEEV’s volume rose 102% in FY2025, a huge rate from a small base, then climbed 72% in the first half of FY2026. Watch whether device sales lead to repeat pod purchases as product rules shift.
Competes with Vuse (British American Tobacco) · blu 2.0 (Imperial Brands)
In plain English
VEEV turns liquid into inhaled vapor. VEEV ONE is a small battery-powered device with replaceable liquid pods; VEEV NOW is the version discarded after use. Both are sold to adult smokers and vapers through Philip Morris shops, online stores, and distributors.
The reusable version matters most as a money loop: place the device once, then sell replacement pods again and again. Rapid growth shows that the line is finding buyers, but it starts from a sliver of company sales. Rules governing flavors and throwaway devices can also push customers from one format to another.
