Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]
Segment Reporting:

The products of Altria Group, Inc.’s subsidiaries include smokeable products comprised of cigarettes manufactured and sold by PM USA, and machine-made large cigars and pipe tobacco manufactured and sold by Middleton; smokeless products manufactured and sold by or on behalf of USSTC and PM USA; and wine produced and/or distributed by Ste. Michelle. The products and services of these subsidiaries constitute Altria Group, Inc.’s reportable segments of smokeable products, smokeless products and wine. In addition, the financial services and the alternative products businesses are included in all other.

As discussed in Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation, beginning with the first quarter of 2013, Altria Group, Inc. revised its reportable segments. Prior-period segment data have been recast to conform with the current-period segment presentation.

Altria Group, Inc.’s chief operating decision maker reviews operating companies income to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources to the segments. Operating companies income for the segments excludes general corporate expenses and amortization of intangibles. Interest and other debt expense, net, and provision for income taxes are centrally managed at the corporate level and, accordingly, such items are not presented by segment since they are excluded from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by Altria Group, Inc.’s chief operating decision maker.

Items affecting the comparability of operating companies income for the reportable segments were as follows:

Asset Impairment, Exit and Implementation Costs - See Note 2. Asset Impairment, Exit and Implementation Costs for a breakdown of these costs by segment.

Tobacco and Health Judgments - See Note 11. Contingencies for pre-tax charges related to certain tobacco and health judgments recorded in operating companies income in the smokeable products segment.



Non-Participating Manufacturer (“NPM”) Adjustment - For the six and three months ended June 30, 2013, PM USA recorded a reduction to cost of sales of $519 million and $36 million, respectively, on its condensed consolidated statements of earnings, which increased operating companies income in the smokeable products segment. This reduction to cost of sales resulted from the settlement of disputes with certain states related to the NPM adjustment provision under the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement (“NPM Adjustment”) for the years 2003 - 2012 discussed under Possible Adjustments in MSA Payments for 2003 - 2012 in Note 11. Contingencies.
