Cigarette coupons are generally given out by sellers once a customer buys a particular number of cigarettes. They are also sometimes given out by guerilla marketing representatives, who hand out the coupons in bars as well as other adult social settings in an effort to get smokers to switch brands to their own specific brands. These coupons ensure that one doesn't pay the full retail price on the cigarettes the next time they wish to buy them. A coupon can offer free or discounted cigarettes. The coupons are redeemable only for a discount on a purchase, not for cash. They are generally redeemable in any shop selling the particular brand of cigarettes.

Many major cigarette companies offer coupons today. Some of the major cigarette manufacturing companies offering coupons are:

Marlboro

Belair

Barclay

Misty

Basic

Pall Mall

Capri

Parliament

Carlton

Raleigh

GPC

Tareyton

KOOL

Viceroy

Lucky Strike

Virginia Slims, and many more.

Cigarette coupons are available in many places. They can be found in the weekend newspapers and supermarket flyers. Many websites offer free coupons once a person buys from their online stores. Websites and companies offer up to twenty dollars in savings when one joins their websites.

In some online stores, Marlboro cartons are available for $19.99 if bought after redeeming coupons. The online coupons can either be redeemed by simply typing a code or by printing them out to redeem them at a nearby store selling the particular brand of cigarettes.

However, the most definite way of obtaining cigarette coupons is to contact the company itself. Many cigarette manufacturers also maintain mailing lists to provide coupons to their customers.
