In USA cigarettes’ distribution was promoted by the emergence of some new sorts of "light" tobacco, for example "White Burley", and of course, the invention of the first tobacco machine in 1880. During the next decade cigarettes surpassed cigars as regards sales volume. Soldiers, who didn’t have time to smoke a cigar or pipe, began to smoke cigarettes.

During this time the famous company "Phillip Morris" has been established. Cigarettes in USA were produced from wastes of other tobacco goods, in particular, chewing tobacco, which was very popular in Western America.
