Kent Cigarettes

Kent Cigarettes. A Short History

The first modern type of Kent cigarettes featuring a micronite filter were advertised back in 1952. At first, this was only a marketing strategy to attract more customers on the idea that micronite filters were healthier than traditional filters at that time. This was true, but only to a certain extent. In 1956, Kent modified the structure of the filter, which originally has asbestos in the formula, to an even better form.

From this date onward we can safely say that Kent became one of the most important brands in USA and Canada especially (although similar brands were sold in Russia and South America), being enjoyed by both women and men. The combination of taste and specific protective filters enriched Kent cigarettes at the time to the point where people started considering them safe, even if this wasn't actually true.

In the late 1990s, and early 2000s, Kent underwent a complete facelift, from the already-traditional image of a common cigarette to an improved version, which resulted in contemporary products advertised on the idea of HD taste. High definition taste is thus the emblem of Kent and is based on an advanced filter, able to reduce the amount of potentially hazardous substances whilst enriching the taste and providing a full experience.

Today, Kent cigarettes featuring HD taste are popular all across the globe and come in many varieties (ultra light (1), light (4), and regular (8)). Depending on location and other contextual factors, people can buy other Kent products, like Kent Golden Lights, in the USA, or Kent Silver 5 in Mexico. Irrespective of type, the principle stands: filter cigarettes are obviously safer than no-filter varieties when it comes to tar and nicotine. This is the first aspect that attracts both men and women to buy Kent cigarettes anywhere in the world.
