American brands Marlboro, Salem, and Parliament are the most commonly available western cigarettes in China. They are sold at hyper-markets (Tesco, Carrefour), supermarkets (Dia, Hua Lian), and convenience stores (Family Mart, All Days). Their retail price is around 15 yuan (US$2.30) per pack. Western brands have a relatively small share of the Chinese cigarette market.
A wider variety of western brands are available at duty free shops at China's international airports. The British brands 555 and Dunhill are the probably the biggest sellers at China's airports.
Double Happiness is the best selling cigarette brand in China. Double Happiness is a domestic Chinese brand.
