Newport is an American brand of cigarettes known for its menthol flavor. Introduced in 1957 by the Lorillard Tobacco Company, it is currently owned and manufactured by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. British American Tobacco became the ultimate owner of Newport after acquiring the remaining shares of Reynolds American in 2017. Newport was named after Newport, Rhode Island.
Newport cigarettes are available in various styles, including Full Flavor, Medium (Blue), and Lights (Gold). They come in different pack sizes, such as King Size (85mm) and 100s (100mm), and in both soft and hard packs. Besides menthol options, Newport also offers non-menthol varieties. The brand is known for its "Alive with Pleasure" advertising campaign, which ran for a long time and helped establish a strong brand image. A pack of Newport cigarettes costs typically between $8 and $12. However, prices can range from $6 to $15 or more depending on the state and local taxes. A carton of Newport cigarettes can range from $80 to $120, and even higher in high-tax states. Newport cigarettes are widely available in the United States at convenience stores, gas stations, and online retailers.
