Encyclopedia
Created by the company Liggett & Myers in 1953, L&M is a brand of cigarettes produced by Altria Group, Inc. (previously known as Philip Morris Companies, Inc.). "L&M" is one of the earliest, perhaps the earliest brand to have a filter that was not a one sided filter. When the "L&M" brand was launched, their motto was American cigarettes of the highest quality with the best filter. When their success in the American market was solidified, Liggett Group made a proposal to take the "L&M" international. The brand is popular in Latin America
, central and northern Europe
, the Arab World
and the far east and south Asia

During the press conference, it was reported that "L&M" takes third place in the world by sales volume.

Due to new labeling regulations in Europe banning the use of the word 'lights' names of some cigarette brands have been changed, i.e. L&M Lights are now L&M Blue Label. The same happened in 2010 in the U.S. when the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) banned flavor descriptors such as "mild," "light" and "ultra light" even though the color designations were already changed like in Europe.
