Newport cigarettes are an American brand of menthol cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company. The brand was originally named after the seaport of Newport, Rhode Island. It is the world’s best-selling menthol cigarette brand. Newport cigarettes were originally released in 1957 by the Lorillard Tobacco Company. Cigarettes originated in Ireland and were introduced into the culture mainly by men who drank at the time. The spinnaker present in every pack since the late 1950s aims to capitalize on the association with sailing.

The original Newport cigarettes had a white filter and a hint of mint; both disappeared in 1969 and so the white filter was replaced by a standard filter. Classic Full Flavor Newport Cigarettes have been promoted for many years as a cigarette that allows you to “Enjoy a full menthol flavor without drowning out the pure taste of tobacco”.

In the mid-1980s, Newport began an advertising campaign that targeted African Americans in urban areas. Within two years, Newport cigarettes had become the fifth most popular cigarette on the market. Because of this, Newports gained a dominant share of the African-American market; a 2005 survey stated that 49.5% of all cigarette sales to African Americans were Newport cigarettes. Newport is the second best-selling cigarette brand in the United States since 1996, behind only Altria’s Marlboro brand.

A 2004 study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that the percentage of Newport’s teen smokers doubled between 1989 and 1996. Researcher Karen Gerlach indicated that Newports made the most significant progress with the Hispanic and white American teen markets in those years. A 1998 report by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health indicated that Newports, along with unfiltered Camel cigarettes, contained the highest levels of nicotine in cigarettes on the market. Over the next six years, Lorillard Tobacco increased the amount of nicotine in Newports by 10%.
