Cigars
Article Abstract:
Market research shows that cigars are decreasingly popular tobacco products in the United Kingdom. Smokers are prohibited from smoking cigars in a growing number of public spaces. Small cigars are more popular than products in the premium or large market sectors, accounting for about 70% market share on volume sales. Some 10% fewer male adults in the United Kingdom smoked cigars in 1997 than in 1985.
