Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Segment Reporting
At September 30, 2025, our reportable segments were (i) smokeable products, consisting of combustible cigarettes and machine-made large cigars; and (ii) oral tobacco products, consisting of MST products and oral nicotine pouches.
Our all other category included (i) NJOY; (ii) Horizon; (iii) Helix International; and (iv) other business activities, which primarily consists of research and development (“R&D”) expense related to certain new product platforms and technologies.
Altria’s Chief Executive Officer is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Our measure of segment profitability is segment operating companies income (loss) (“OCI”), which is defined as operating income before general corporate expenses and amortization of intangibles. Our CODM uses OCI for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance of the segments, including allocating capital and other resources to our segments and evaluating results relative to employee compensation targets. Interest and other debt expense, net, along with net periodic benefit income, excluding service cost, 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 our CODM. We do not disclose information about total assets by segment because such information is not reported to or used by our CODM. Segment goodwill and other intangible assets, net, are disclosed in Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net.

The comparability of OCI for our reportable segments was affected by the following:

Total$(2)$(27)$(2)$(21)
We recorded the amounts shown in the table above in our smokeable products segment as reductions to cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings, which resulted in increased OCI in our smokeable products segment. NPM adjustment items result from the resolutions of certain disputes with states and territories related to the NPM adjustment provision under the Master Settlement Agreement (“NPM Adjustment Items”). For further discussion, see Health Care Cost Recovery Litigation in Note 14. Contingencies.
