The latest move came as the company reported full-year sales in line with analysts’ expectations

but failed to stem investors’ concerns about its outlook. BAT says it is confident in its ability to manage proposals by the US Food and Drug Administration to restrict sales of flavoured e-cigarettes and ban menthol cigarettes.

The company also pushed back a target for revenue of £5bn from next-generation products to 2023/2024 from 2023.
