Maybe I can eat Oreos and Kraft’s crappy cheese again

The Altria Group, maker of Marlboro and other Philip Morris not-so-fine tobacco products, is reportedly spinning off Kraft Foods, and Nabisco along with it.

After my dad died from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease almost two years ago, brought on first by Camel shorties, then Winstons (both Robert J. Reynolds products), then Merit, Marlboro Lights and other “light” products from Philip Morris, I took a personal vow to abstain from all products by Altria, or

With this news, if this goes through, I can be free of the vow. Reynolds makes nothing but tobacco products, so there’s nothing from them that I’ve been giving up.
