But over the past few years Marlboro sales volume has decreased over the years due to competitions. We have conducted a survey to find out why Marlboro sales volume has been decreasing over the past few years. The total no. of respondents is 60. We have used exploratory methods for the surveys. Our findings reflected that most of the respondents who have switch to other brands of cigarettes were due mainly to the high price of Marlboro. From our findings we can conclude that Marlboro has high quality tobacco. Also we found out that young female smokers might have the tendency to quit smoking in the near future because they find that the new cigarettes package design is too gross and irritating.
