Comment:

Red and White Cigarettes are manufactured by Godfrey Phillips India Ltd.

They have always utilized top film stars depicting bravery through advertisements promoting their product. Along with the advertisements they also have actual award ceremony for bravery annually. Local politicians may give out awards. Press coverage is also given.
