INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Backqround ~ _. _
PHILIP MORRIS, U.S.A., expressed interest in research designed to measure Hispanic
consumers' usage and purchase behavior of the cigarette category.
Market Development, Inc., a firm that specializes in market research in the U.S. in general, and
Hispanic research in particular, was asked to conduct research to provide the information
needed.
Objective
The primary objective of the research was to measure usage and purchase habits of Hispanic
cigarette smokers in general, and males 18-24, in particular.
Hispanic Cigarette Usage Study - 1 -
June 1994 0=,.4

METHODOLOGY
Ooo
The study was conducted among self-identified U.S. Hispanic men and women who were 18
years of age or older and smoke cigarettes.
A total of 1,000 telephone interviews were conducted from April 25, 1994 to May 6, 1994.
• 618 interviews were conducted among males and 382 interviews were conducted among
females.
Interviews were conducted across the United States and telephone numbers were pulled from
a dual-frame sample:
A Random Digit Dial (RDD)~sample was generated from all U.S. telephone exchanges with
a Hispanic population density of 30% or greater, and
For all exchanges with a Hispanic population density of below 30%, a listed-surname
sample was used.
All interviewing was conducted in Spanish or English depending upon the respondent's
preference from MDI's own WATS interviewing facility.
The average interview length was 8 minutes.

MANAGEMENT SUMMARY

MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
Marlboro is the leader in the Hispanic~igarette mark~il with :~ost(57%) s~oking one of the
various Marlboro types as their regular brand.
This is especially true among males between the ages of 18 and 24. Nearly nine out of
every ten men in this age group (86%) smoke Marlboro as their regular brand.
Specifically, the non-menthol, Kings in a red box were preferred by men 18-24 (33%).
• Winston was the next most popular brand among all smokers (7%).
Puerto Ricans are the least likely to smoke Marlboro (22%) and the most likely to smoke
Newport (30%).
Many Hispanics (57%) have been with their current brand for at least 5 years and few (14%)
have purchased another brand of cigarettes other than their regSlar brand in the past 7 days.
• Puerto Ricans are most loyal to their current brand of cigarettes, having smoked the
brand for the past 9.7 years.
Most respondents would use a coupon if they received one to purchase their regular brand or
another brand of cigarettes (85% and 78%, respectively).
Fewer than one in five Hispanics over the age of 21 participate in cigarette company promotions
(16%), with less than one in every ten currently collecting Marlboro Miles of any kind (9%).
• Despite the low participation, many Hispanics (38%) are aware of the Marlboro Miles
campaign. Among females 21-24, awareness of the campaign was highest (44%).
Awareness of the Marlboro Adventure Team was low overall (18%) among Hispanics 21
years or older. Awareness of the team was highest among those in the 21-24 age group
(29% among males and 28% among females) and males in the 25-34 age group (26%).
Few Hispanics currently collect Marlboro Miles associated with the Marlboro Adventure
Team (5%). Of those that do collect Miles, however, nearly all (4%) have redeemed some
or all of their miles for merchandise.

half of all respondents (57%) using any type Of Marlboro.

ages of 18 and 24. More than four-out-of-five (86%) Hispanic male smokers in this age
group use Marlboro as their regular brand.
Those of Puerto Rican descent, the majority of which live in the New York area, are the
