ABOUT THIS REPORT

Scope and Method

This report forecasts US tobacco product consumption and shipments in US dollars at
the manufacturers level. In this report, the terms demand and consumption are used
interchangeably. Total demand and shipments are segmented in terms of product by:

cigarettes
cigars
chewing tobacco and other products (eg, snus and pipe tobacco).

Excluded from the scope of this report are tobacco-free products such as electronic
cigarettes and electronic cigars.
Total demand, shipments, and the various segments are sized at five-year intervals for
historical years 2007 and 2012 with a forecast to 2017. Forecasts emanate from the
identification and analysis of pertinent statistical relationships and other historical
trends/events as well as their expected progression/impact over the forecast period.
Changes in quantities between reported years of a given total or segment are typically
provided in terms of five-year compound annual growth rates (CAGRs). For the sake of
brevity, forecasts are generally stated in smoothed CAGR-based descriptions to the
forecast year, such as demand is projected to rise 3.2% annually through 2016. The
result of any particular year over that period, however, may exhibit volatility and depart
from a smoothed, long-term trend, as historical data typically illustrate.
Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided at five-year intervals with CAGRs for
the years corresponding to other reported figures. Other various topics, including
profiles of pertinent leading suppliers, are covered in this report. A full outline of report
items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
