I have some mutual funds that probably have some of their stock and
other companies that I personally don't care much for. In the real
world you can't avoid smokers or bad companies. I tend to be hard,
somewhat bitter, on the tobacco question because my father was a heavy
smoker which ruined his health, including having lung cancer and heart
problems. Also I had to work for several years a while ago in an
environment with a lot of second hand smoke. I noticed a difference in
my own health after the work place became smoke free.
I read a few weeks that Altria intends to spin off it's tobacco assets.
