	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008		Three Months Ended September 30, 2008
Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes	$	3,808	$	1,358
Add (deduct):
Equity in net earnings of less than 50% owned affiliates		(347)		(55)
Dividends from less than 50% owned affiliates		181		181
Fixed charges		204		73
Interest capitalized, net of amortization		(24)		(25)
Earnings available for fixed charges	$	3,822	$	1,532
Fixed charges:
Interest incurred (A):
Consumer products	$	159	$	59
Financial services		28		8
		187		67
Portion of rent expense deemed to represent interest factor		17		6
Fixed charges	$	204	$	73
Ratio of earnings to fixed charges (B)		18.7		21.0

(A) Altria Group, Inc. includes interest relating to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income taxes, therefore such amounts are not included in fixed charges in the computation.

(B) Reflects Philip Morris International Inc. (“PMI”) as a discontinued operation. Interest incurred and the portion of rent expense deemed to represent the interest factor of PMI have been excluded from fixed charges in the computation. Including these amounts in fixed charges, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges would have been 11.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
