HTML format (also
has the data table used to construct each figure)
- Respondents
in SAMHSA's 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health who reported
smoking part or all of a cigarette in the past month were asked to
report which cigarette brand they smoked most often during that time.
Brand preferences did not differ significantly between 2002 and 2005.
- The
five cigarette brands used most often by past month cigarette smokers
were Marlboro, Newport, Camel, Basic, and Doral. At least one of the
five most smoked cigarette brands was used by 86% of the smokers aged
12 to 17 and 89.2% of the smokers aged 18 to 25. Smokers aged 26 or
older reported more diversity in cigarette brand selection than younger
smokers; only 63.2% of this age group of smokers reported smoking
one of the five most smoked cigarette brands.
- White
smokers were most likely to smoke Marlboro (45%) or Camel (8.9%) cigarettes,
Hispanic smokers to smoke Marlboro (57.2%) or Newport (13.5%), while
black smokers were most likely to smoke Newport (49.5%) or Kool (11.4%),

This Short
Report, The NSDUH Report:
Cigarette Brand Preferences in 2005, is based on
SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health
(formerly called the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse) conducted
by the Office of Applied Studies (OAS) in the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
SAMHSA's NHSDA/NSDUH is the primary source of information on the prevalence,
patterns, and consequences of drug and alcohol use and abuse in the general
U.S. civilian non institutionalized population, age 12 and older.
Estimates are also available for drug use by state.
