Some More Facts about Salem

Salem cigarettes are best known for their menthol flavour. Unlike other brands introduced on the market of menthol cigarettes, Salem managed to stand out due to tobacco blend with Asian menthol, which is much different from what other companies use. Salem was the first brand introducing filter-tipped menthol cigarettes. Like many other brands producing menthol-flavoured cigarettes, the target audience of Salem was and still remains young smokers aged 18 – 23.

In its advertising campaigns, the brand relies on the freshness a smoker feels instead of tobacco taste. Nature landscapes and fun-loving models in their ads are supposed to persuade people that smoking Salem isn’t as harmful as smoking regular full-flavoured tobacco cigarettes.
