Plenty of dividend and lots of profit. Customers are addicted to the product. What's not to like?

Got this at 32.75 last week; already beating S&P by 6%. Great dividend. Idiots will continue to smoke, probably more, when the market drops!!

Well over the past couple years, other than Marlboro, all I see people smoking are American Spirit cigarettes. AS is a subsidiary of RAI. If nothing else, if the market goes down people will still smoke these organic (healthy) smokes.
Whats a good cigarette without accelerants anyways.

Dividend and earnings, smoking is going any where. The company doesnt have to change or retool anything or waste money on r&d. Asset turn over like a mad flowing river. A no brainer this one. Cheers to you smokers make me rich . I deserve some pay while you throw your dam cigarette butts all over every where hahahahahahaha.

Dividend play. A Good ROIC gives them a good chance to maintain this dividend as earnings slow. They are a little expensive but the next few years will be about dividends. If interest rates rise beyond this dividend level then all bets are off. Stocks with higher dividends are safer in that regard.

Ah-HA!
So I decided to check this out today and when I went to dividendinvestor.com to check the dividend historyI saw the previous quarterly payment of $0.90 and the latest payment in red for $0.49 I thought "HUH?"
I searched the headlines. I looked at Morningstar.com.
Finally I found what I was looking for at Yahoo!Finance after I clicked on "Historical Prices" - "dividends only."
Nov 16 RAI had a 2:1 stock split.
Now because it had a 2:1 stock split the dividend (per share) cut causes the folks at dividendinvestor.com to show a big fat ZERO for "consecutive years of dividend increases?
They better fix that before everybody thinks they're a bunch of idiots.
This one's going up. That's a solidly backed dividend.

Addictive product? Juicy dividend? Discount brands that are still profitable? What's not to like?

What can be said about tabacco that hasn't already been said many times over? I am a former smoker and can't stand the smell of cigarettes or somebody's breath right after having a cigarette. I will never smoke again, yet that is my choice, and I would never push my choices onto others like others tried to do to me to try to get me to quit. Everybody knows that smoking is not good for you, but many people will continue to smoke. That doesn't bother me. Playing with snakes can be very bad for you too, but look at how many people milk snakes for the venom or just play with them as pets. One wrong move there and you can die rather quickly, whereas with cigarettes, we all seem to know some 90 year old person who has been smoking for 70 years and is in relatively good health for their age. You just don't seem to die as quickly as with a rattlesnake bite. I do not mind making money on the choices of others. I know that people made money off of my choice to smoke for twelve years. People continue to make money on my choice to go out to dinner. If I eat a fattening meal, nobody is yelling at me and telling me that I shouldn't eat that.
As long as people wish to smoke in numbers sufficient enough to keep the big tabacco companies in business, companies like RAI will continue to be around and pay out those nice dividends. I know that the trend for the number of smokers in the U.S. is downward. That's OK with me. The trend is upward in some other countries.
So while I will not join you in your little pleasure, I say, smoke 'em if you got 'em.
