Following the acquisition of Reynolds American, British American Tobacco is neck-and-neck with Philip Morris International to be the largest listed Global tobacco company--slightly larger than PMI on net revenue, but slightly smaller on total tobacco volume. British American's Global Drive Brands are Dunhill, Kent, Pall Mall, Lucky Strike, and Rothmans, and it also owns Newport and Camel in the U.S. The firm also sells vapor e-cigarettes, primarily its Vuse brand, heated tobacco, with Glo, as well Velo modern oral tobacco products. The company holds 29% of ITC Limited, the leading Indian cigarette-maker.
