International Marketing Principles

Our International Marketing Principles (IMP) set down detailed guidance on all aspects of tobacco marketing, from print, billboards and electronic media to promotional events, packaging and sponsorship.  Central to the IMP is our long-held commitment to ensuring that no marketing activity is directed at or particularly appeals to youth.

British American Tobacco has adopted a set of globally consistent International Marketing Principles that embody our commitment to marketing appropriately to adult smokers.

We believe that manufacturers and retailers of tobacco products should be allowed to communicate with adults who choose to consume tobacco. Our intention is not to persuade people, whether adults or youths, to start or continue smoking.
