Quick answer: In the Virqalo catalogue, “Lights”, “Mild” and “Premium” are words that appear inside the exact product names of specific cigarette records. They are part of the record you need to match — they are not health ratings, not a strength guarantee, and not a reason to treat two similar records as the same product. The reliable identifiers are always the complete title, the SKU and the carton unit. This guide is for Australian adults aged 18 and over. It is factual catalogue information only and does not recommend tobacco use. Tobacco contains addictive nicotine and smoking causes serious health risks.

“Lights” — a name word on three records
The word “Lights” currently appears in three Virqalo titles: MEVIUS Lights 8mg (SS-347), ESSE Lights Super Slim (SS-303) and Manchester Lights Cigarettes (SS-208). In every case it is part of the displayed record name. If you remove the word when you search, you can land on a broader result set that includes a different record. Keep “Lights” in the query and confirm the SKU before you treat a result as the record you intended.
“Lights” is not a health rating. Where a record also carries a milligram figure, that figure is the nominal tar-yield number the manufacturer prints on the pack for that market — see what the mg number means in cigarette product names.
“Mild” — one current record
“Mild” currently appears in one title: Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack (SS-370). The word sits inside a longer name that also contains “10mg” and “Hard Pack”. All of those parts belong to the exact record. Dropping “Mild” or “Hard Pack” from a search can return the MEVIUS category instead of the one record, which is why the complete title and SKU are the safest way to check it.
“Premium” — a tier word in two MEVIUS names
“Premium” currently appears in two MEVIUS titles: MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-339) and MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-366). “Premium” is a tier word in these names, not a strength level and not a substitute for the mg figure or the SKU. The two records are distinct from each other and from the non-“Premium” MEVIUS Option Purple 8 record; always match the full title and SKU.
How these words differ from the mg figure
The words “Lights”, “Mild” and “Premium” are name components, while the milligram figure is a separate component of some titles. For example, MEVIUS Lights 8mg (SS-347) carries both a word and a number, while ESSE Lights Super Slim (SS-303) carries the word but no milligram figure in its title. They are read together with the rest of the displayed name — read a cigarette product listing as a sequence of fields — and neither the word nor the number is a health rating.
How to reach the exact record
- Keep the complete title, including words such as Lights, Mild and Premium, and the carton wording — see how to read “1 Carton (10 Packs)”.
- Search with the full title or the SKU. The brand category is a useful bounded fallback: MEVIUS, ESSE and Manchester each list their records separately — how to navigate brand categories.
- Confirm the SKU and carton unit on the product page before checkout.
Other name components follow the same rule: size terms such as KS and Super Slim, flavour descriptors such as menthol and mint, and country or edition qualifiers such as US Edition or Japan all belong to the exact record name.
Frequently asked questions
Does “Lights” mean a cigarette is safer or has less tar?
No. In the Virqalo catalogue, “Lights” is part of the displayed record name; it is not a health rating or a promise of reduced risk. Where a milligram figure appears in a title, it is the nominal tar-yield figure the manufacturer prints on the pack for that market. Tobacco contains addictive nicotine and smoking causes serious health risks. Adults 18+ only.
Are “Lights” and “Mild” the same thing?
They are different words on different records — for example MEVIUS Lights 8mg (SS-347) and Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack (SS-370). They are not interchangeable name components, and neither record is a substitute for the other. Match the complete title and SKU.
Is “Premium” a strength level?
No. In the current catalogue, “Premium” appears in two MEVIUS record names. It does not replace the mg figure, the flavour wording or the SKU, and it does not make one record equivalent to another.
Which word should I search with?
Search with the complete product title or the SKU, and keep every word — including Lights, Mild and Premium. If you only know the brand, open the brand category and read each complete title before choosing a record.
Are records that share a word substitutes for each other?
No. Each Virqalo record is a distinct catalogue entry with its own title, SKU and carton unit. A shared word such as “Lights” is not evidence that two records are the same product or can replace each other.
Adults 18+ only. This is a factual catalogue guide for Australian adults: prices are shown in AUD, each record is sold as one carton containing 10 packs, and delivery is Australia-only. It does not recommend tobacco use or present any product as a substitute for another. Tobacco contains addictive nicotine and smoking causes serious health risks.
