What's the difference between Newports (Cigarettes.)?

Question

I bought my son a pack of newport and he goes "aw why it had to be shorts" and i was totally confused! Like what's the difference? how do you know if your buying "shorts" or not? like its shorts not strong enough?

Answer 1

There are "shorts", which are regular length cigarettes, and "hundreds", which are almost half as long.  The hundreds contain more nicotine and are a longer smoking cigarette.

Answer 2

"shorts" are regular size.

"100" are larger

"220" are the largest and very hard to find in the USA

Answer 3

'hundreds' are probably what he was looking for. They are the longer lengthed cigarretes which is clearly obvious from the size/length of cigarette box. But, if u don't ask for the '100s' or 'hundreds' pack then they'll just give u the shorter regular length cigarette.
