 PROFILE
When people pick up smoking, British American Tobacco (BAT) picks up steam. Spun off in the reorganization of B.A.T Industries, BAT is the world's #2 tobacco firm (behind Philip Morris) with more than 15% of the market. It sells more than 300 brands of smokes in about 180 countries. BAT's international cigarette brands include Benson & Hedges, Dunhill, Kent, State Express 555, Lucky Strike, Peter Stuyvesant, Rothmans, and Winfield; it also makes loose tobacco and regional cigarette brands. Its US unit, Brown & Williamson, makes Kool and GPC cigarettes. BAT also owns Canada's leading tobacco company, Imperial Tobacco. Companies controlled by South African billionaire Anton Rupert own about 28% of BAT.
