The report, from World Street Fundamentals, Hong Kong, notes that recently, there has been increased competition between the smoked and smokeless tobacco [image-nocss] markets as companies have begun to market smokeless tobacco as an alternative to cigarettes in situations where adult tobacco users cannot or choose not to smoke. Changing consumer mindsets, government regulation and taxation will continue to be an ever-present influence on tobacco sales, resulting in widespread shifts within the marketplace, the report says.
World Street Fundamentals has highlighted Reynolds American for its two business segments: RJR Tobacco and Conwood. RJR Tobacco's cigarette brands include Camel, Pall Mall, Winston, Kool, Doral, Salem, Misty and Capri. Conwood's primary products include its moist snuff brands, Grizzly and Kodiak. The company sells its products primarily through distributors, wholesalers and other direct customers, some of which are retail chains. Click here to read the report on Reynolds American Inc.
