Marlboro Cigarettes
Marlboro cigarettes are produced by Philip Morris Tobacco Company “Altria”. The brand was named after the London Street where the Cigarette Factory was located. The spread of these cigarettes began when Philip Morris started selling his tobacco brands in 1902. And it soon gained a reputation of the most demanded cigs. In 2001 Marlboro Cigarettes were recognized as the most popular tobacco brand in the United States. Another survey (2002) concluded that Marlboro cigarettes are sold extensively in Caucasian countries.
Menthol Cigarettes
Cigarettes can be harder to quit than the standard variety, especially in low-income smokers, new research suggests.
The results add to evidence that mentholated cigarettes may be especially addictive, but dwell on the role of socioeconomics as researchers say.
They found that black and Hispanic smokers who favored menthol cigarettes were less than the long-term quit rates than their counterparts who smoked cigarettes standard. There was no such difference among white smokers in general, but there was a pattern of unemployed whites: those who smoked menthol cigarettes had lower rates of exit for a month.
Previous studies have found that menthol-cigarette smokers tend to have higher blood levels of nicotine than other smokers to do.
“This study shows that people who smoke cigarettes mentholated - especially low-income countries - may inhale more nicotine and toxins in cigarettes,” lead researcher Kunal K. Gandhi, told Reuters Health.
This, in turn, could lead to a more severe addiction, explained Gandhi, a researcher at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Revenue may enter into the picture, Gandhi and his colleagues say, changing the way people smoke. Since low-income smokers may try to get more out of every smoke break, taking over clubs for a cigarette or inhaling more deeply.
Menthol makes it easier because it allows the cooling effect to mask the harshness of nicotine and other tobacco toxins.

Hawaii Legislature passes tax hikes on income, cigarettes
The Hawaii State Legislature passed several bills increasing taxes on high incomes, cigarette sand tobacco, and the conveyance tax on the sale of pricey homes.
Lawmakers voted Wednesday to increase the state income tax rates for single taxpayers who make $150,000 or more a year, heads of households who make $225,000 or more, and couple filing jointly earning $300,000 or more a year. The bill also raises the personal exemption and the standard income tax deduction.
The cigarette tax increases the per-cigarette tax to 13 cents, starting July 1. The tax will increase to 14 cents July 1, 2010, and 15 cents on July 1, 2011.
Another tax targeting smokers — the tax on tobacco products other than cigarettes and cigars — was passed, increasing the tax from 40 percent to 70 percent of the wholesale price, beginning Sept. 30. The state’s tax on cigars will increase from 40 percent to 50 percent, and smaller cigars will be taxed like cigarettes.
A bill increasing the conveyance tax on the sale of properties of $2 million or more and on second homes was also passed.

Marlboro Cigarettes
Marlboro is a brand of cigarettes made by Philip Morris USA (a subsidiary ALTRIA) in the United States, and Philip Morris International (now separate from ALTRIA) outside the United States. He is famous for its billboard and magazine advertisements for Marlboro man.
The brand is named after Great Marlborough Street, the place of its original London factory. Richmond, Virginia is currently the location of the largest Marlboro cigarette factory.
Philip Morris, a cigarette manufacturer in London, established in New York in 1902 to sell several of its subsidiary brands of cigarettes, including Marlboro. In 1924 they were advertising Marlboro as a woman's cigarette based on the slogan "Mild As May".
The brand was sold in this capacity until World War II when the brand weakened, and was temporarily removed from the market. At the end of the war, three brands emerged that would establish a firm hold on the cigarette market: Camel, Lucky Strike and Chesterfield. These stamps were delivered to American soldiers during the war, creating an instant market upon their return.
During the 1950 Reader's Digest magazine published a series of articles that linked smoking with lung cancer. Philip Morris and other companies, took a cigarette notice and each began to market filtered cigarettes. The new Marlboro with a filtered end was launched in 1955. In the early 1960's Philip Morris invented "Country Marlboro" and distilled their manly imagery in good cowboys known as the "Marlboro Men."
Marlboro, in the 2001-2002 study, the American Center for Disease Control and Prevention, would lead to more smoking brand on 41.8% of secondary schools and 52.0% of secondary school students.
