RICHMOND - Philip Morris USA is accusing 10 New York and New Jersey retailers of selling counterfeit Marlboro cigarettes. The nation's largest tobacco company announced the federal lawsuits against the retailers yesterday.

The company says the New York area is fertile for cigarette smugglers because of high taxes. In New York City, a pack of Marlboro cigarettes can cost more than $10.
