About Kent Switch Menthols Vietnam

Kent Switch Menthols Vietnam is the Vietnamese-market version of Kent Switch, produced under British American Tobacco in Vietnam, with a single crush capsule that turns a regular cigarette into a menthol one. Kent has been a BAT brand outside the United States since Lorillard sold the overseas rights in 1977, and the Vietnamese version comes from BAT’s local operation. “Switch” is BAT’s name for its capsule line: one menthol bead sits inside the filter, and you press it before lighting up, halfway through, or not at all.

It is not the Kent HD or Kent Nanotek sold in other countries, and Aussie Smokes stocks only this one Kent SKU. So is Kent Switch a menthol cigarette? It is both: regular until the capsule is pressed, menthol after. Everything below describes this SKU only.

Product Specifications

Each carton of Kent Switch Menthols Vietnam contains 10 packs of 20 king-size cigarettes, 200 sticks in total, with the specifications below as printed on the pack.

Figures are machine yields printed by the manufacturer under the ISO method. They compare products with each other and do not measure what a smoker takes in.

Tar and Nicotine

The Vietnamese pack of Kent Switch prints 4 mg tar and 0.3 mg nicotine per cigarette, measured by the ISO machine-smoking method. A machine takes a 35 ml puff every 60 seconds until the cigarette burns to a set length, and the residue in the filter pad is weighed. The number compares one product with another; it does not measure what a person inhales.

Cartons sold under Australian plain-packaging law print no yield figures at all, so you will only see 4 mg / 0.3 mg on the Vietnamese pack.

Capsule, Charcoal Filter and Draw

The filter of Kent Switch Menthols Vietnam has two parts: a charcoal segment that the smoke passes through first, and a single menthol capsule that stays sealed until you press it. Activating it takes three steps. First, find the capsule by rolling the filter between finger and thumb; you will feel a small bead near the tip. Second, press until it clicks, with a firm press rather than a tap. Third, the menthol releases for the rest of the cigarette, and it cannot be switched back.

Can you smoke it without pressing? Yes; unpressed, it is a regular Virginia-blend cigarette. The charcoal segment holds activated carbon granules, which the manufacturer positions as evening out the draw; treat that as a design feature, not a health claim. Unpressed, the taste is Virginia tobacco with no added sweetness. Pressed, you get a strong menthol cooling to the end of the stick.
