This product is a pack of cigarettes under the 'Philip Morris' brand name. The branding on the side mentions Philip Morris Products S.A., based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, which is a major operational and research site for Philip Morris International (PMI). Despite the Swiss contact address, these cigarettes are manufactured in various locations globally depending on the specific market and facility availability.

Originally, the Philip Morris brand was founded in the United Kingdom in 1847 by Philip Morris himself. The brand eventually became the namesake for one of the world's largest tobacco companies. For many decades, it was a flagship brand of the American company Philip Morris Companies Inc. (now Altria Group). However, in 2008, Philip Morris International was spun off as an independent entity to handle markets outside of the United States.

Today, the Philip Morris brand is owned and distributed by Philip Morris International (PMI) globally, while in the United States, the Philip Morris brand name and its associated variants are owned by Altria Group. Given the Dutch text on the health warning ('Tabaksrook bevat meer dan 70 stoffen die kanker veroorzaken'), this specific pack is most likely produced and distributed for the Benelux market by a subsidiary of Philip Morris International.
