British American Tobacco p.l.c.BTI
Consumer Staples

Sells combustible cigarettes and smokeless nicotine products across the United States and international markets, anchored by brands including Newport, Camel, Vuse, glo, and Velo. Combustibles remain the economic base while management shifts investment toward vapour, heated tobacco, and oral nicotine under product-specific regulation.

Produces and sells combustible cigarettes, vapour devices, heated tobacco, modern oral nicotine, and traditional oral products. International cigarette brands include Dunhill, Lucky Strike, Pall Mall, and Rothmans, while the Reynolds American business supplies Newport, Camel, and Natural American Spirit in the United States.

Vuse, glo, and Velo anchor the smokeless portfolio across vapour, heated tobacco, and oral nicotine. Combustibles still provide most revenue, while product development and investment are being directed toward a predominantly smokeless mix.

Operations span the United States, Americas and Europe, and Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. Cigarette litigation and settlement payments remain structural obligations, while each new Vuse variant depends on its own FDA marketing authorization in the United States.
