Philip Morris launches 'refreshing' cigarette

By Park Si-soo

Philip Morris, an international tobacco company, launched a new product containing a capsule with what it claims is a “refreshing” flavor.

The new Marlboro Zing Fusion is the very first refreshing-flavored product in Korea from the Marlboro brand portfolio, the company said Thursday.

“It delivers Marlboro’s signature smooth taste and provides a distinctive refreshing taste when crushing a Mixball capsule in the filter,” it said.

The new product contains 5.0 milligrams of tar and 0.4 milligrams of nicotine, and is priced 4,500 won per pack.
