by the American Philip Morris, the tobacco brand was approved more than a year and a half ago by the Moroccan Tobacco Company (formerly Imperial Tobacco), which never marketed it. But what sparked industry outrage was that Next was suspected of being officially listed as brown tobacco, hence the very low price. But the product that was just launched at the point of sale advertising was rather a blend between brown tobacco and blond tobacco. This would not be consistent with what was approved by the Tobacco Control Board. Laboratory analyzes were also underway to determine the true composition of Next cigarettes. But one already suspects a strong predominance of blond tobacco. The Probate Commission, which was made up of the Ministries of Trade and Industry, Health, Agriculture and Finance, would be called in to make its own investigation and react to that. For the introduction on the Moroccan market of Next, premium brand of brown tobacco, the distributor had chosen the southern regions of Casablanca, including Kelaâ Sraghna, Marrakesh. Areas known for the preference of Value For Money cigarettes (low cost). The distribution of the new brand was gradually being rolled out all over the country. Contacted by The Economist, Philip Morris rejected any accusation. "The product we market is in line with what has been approved by the Commission. It is indeed a brown tobacco as authorized." said the tobacco giant. The latter recalls that most tobacco companies use tobacco blends to personalize a product and that this is a widespread trend for all operators. The controversy would not fail to intensify a week before the publication of a new list of cigarettes in the Official Bulletin, provided by the law in early June of each year.
