Vogue is an upmarket brand of cigarette, currently owned and manufactured by British American Tobacco.[1][2]

History

Vogue is available in several varieties, including regular, menthol and lights. Vogue cigarettes are marketed in both king size and super slim, which is about 100 mm long and thinner than a standard size cigarette. Vogue cigarette brand belongs to a decorative or fashionable kind on the cigarettes market and is sold primarily to women. The Vogue cigarette's style was based on the 1950s couture captured by Henry Clarke. The distinctive design of the package is intended to symbolize elegance, class and refinement.[3]

Singer Madonna is shown smoking a Vogue brand cigarette in the video for her 1990 single Vogue.

In 1999, the line of Vogue cigarettes emerged from an alliance of the British American Tobacco company with its British opponent Rothmans International companies. The ‘Vogue Superslims’ and ‘Vogue Superslims Menthol’ were launched in 1987. This trademark remains in a stable position on the market for women.

The manufacturers announced a complete image renewal in August 2007.
