Philip Morris: Marlboro owner sells UK inhaler firm over backlash
Philip Morris International bought Vectura Group just three years ago in a deal worth more than £1bn.
The tobacco giant that makes Marlboro cigarettes has sold a UK inhaler company for a knock-down price due to what it calls an "unwarranted" backlash.
Philip Morris International (PMI) has offloaded Vectura Group for £150m ($198m) just three years after buying it in a deal worth more than £1bn.
PMI's decision to buy Vectura, which makes inhalers to treat lung conditions such as asthma, was criticised as being hypocritical.

Mother of God.
These fuckers are ghouls of the lowest caliber. And the fucking gall to act offended when people call them out on it.
It's almost time to eat these bastards. Every last one of them.
I think your watch might be running a little slow, friend.
Its cyclical, we’ve just gone so far past the time to eat them that it’s almost time again.
"We're the cause of and the solution to your problems!"
