Marlboro is an American brand of cigarettes, globally recognized and one of the world’s best-selling tobacco products. It was introduced in 1924, initially marketed towards women before shifting its focus to men in the 1950s with the iconic “Marlboro Man” advertising campaign. The brand offers various product lines, including “Flavor” (traditional full flavor, like Marlboro Red), “Gold” (smoother taste, formerly “Lights”), and “Fresh” (menthol and flavored cigarettes). While Philip Morris International manufactures Marlboro in most global territories, Philip Morris USA (a branch of Altria) manufactures it within the United States.
