Why should $MO position itself in the global market? They have been spun off from $PM. The international distribution of the tobacco business lies with $PM.
@TaxesAreTheft For the alternative products, yes - $MO doesn't have them for the US market. At that time, only the cigarette business was outsourced - the new products didn't really exist yet and that's why they are also distributed by $PM in the USA. That's why I would never invest in Altria if I still had the larger distribution market to choose from.
