Brand Details Kent

Kent is an American cigarette brand founded in 1952 by P. Lorillard Company. It is known for being one of the first brands to promote the idea of a 'safer' cigarette, with its Micronite filter, which paradoxically contained chrysotile asbestos in its earliest versions, becoming a major case study in marketing and corporate responsibility. Now owned by British American Tobacco (BAT), Kent is a standard-premium brand popular in Southern Europe, Turkey, the Middle East and North Africa, including Tunisia where it is among the most-sold imported brands.

📊 Price analysis

In 2026, a pack of Kent costs 8.01 € on average across the 11 countries we track. Cheapest: 2.33 € (Turkey); most expensive: 15.65 € (United Kingdom), a gap driven mainly by differences in tobacco taxation.
