The total number of smokers in India are 5 million and the total number of tobacco consumption consumers are 9 million (including the ghutka, khaini, bidi). ITC commands a whopping share of around 80+% followed by Godfrey Philips with around 6-9% market share. Gold Flake is the largest selling brand in India.

Overall, the cigarette companies have tremendous challenge with regulations and taxes becoming heavier for them day by day. Already, in countries like the UK, the government has given a notice that all cigarette packs should only come in a white packaging without any branding. So, companies are trying to brand inside the pack. Also, in many countries it is counter-advertised that it is not cool anymore to smoke a cigarette.
