Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Overview The condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)include the accounts of Reynolds American Inc., referred to as RAI, and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries. RAIs wholly owned subsidiaries include R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company; Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, Inc., referred to as Santa Fe; Lane, Limited, referred to as Lane; Conwood Holdings, Inc.; and Conwood Company, LLC and Rosswil LLC, collectively referred to as the Conwood companies. RAI was incorporated as a holding company in the state of North Carolina on January5, 2004, and its common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol RAI. RAI was created to facilitate the business combination of the U.S. business of Brown Williamson Holdings, Inc., referred to as BW, with R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company on July30, 2004. References to RJR Tobacco prior to July30, 2004, relate to R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, a New Jersey corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings, Inc., referred to as RJR. References to RJR Tobacco on and subsequent to July30, 2004, relate to the combined U.S. assets, liabilities and operations of BW and R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, a North Carolina corporation. RAIs reportable operating segments are RJR Tobacco and Conwood. The RJR Tobacco segment consists of the primary operations of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. The Conwood segment consists of Conwood Holdings, Inc., the primary operations of the Conwood companies and Lane. RAIs wholly owned subsidiary, Santa Fe, among others, is included in All Other. The segments were identified based on how RAIs chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance. Some of RAIs wholly owned operating subsidiaries have entered into intercompany agreements for products or services with other RAI operating subsidiaries. As a result, certain activities of an operating subsidiary may be included in a different segment of RAI. RAIs operating subsidiaries primarily conduct their business in the United States. Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as GAAP, for interim financial information and, in managements opinion, contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For interim reporting purposes, certain costs and expenses are charged to operations in proportion to the estimated total annual amount expected to be incurred primarily based on sales volumes. The results for the interim period ended June30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December31, 2009. The equity method is used to account for investments in businesses that RAI does not control, but has the ability to significantly influence operat |

Fair Value Measurement [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurement | Note 2 Fair Value Measurement SFAS No.157 establishes a fair value hierarchy and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price. The levels of the fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No.157 are: Level 1: inputs are quoted prices, unadjusted, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2: inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. A Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3: inputs are unobservable and reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Financial assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of June30, 2009, were as follows: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Money market funds $ 2,111 $ $ 6 $ 2,117 Auction rate securities corporate credit risk 25 25 Auction rate securities financial insurance companies 18 18 Mortgage-backed security 14 14 Assets held in grantor trusts 14 14 Interest rate swaps fixed to floating rate 180 180 Interest rate swaps floating to fixed rate 61 61 The fair value of the interest rate swaps, classified as a Level 2, utilized a market approach model using the notional amount of the interest rate swap multiplied by the observable inputs of time to maturity, interest rates and credit spreads. See note 9 for additional information on interest rate swaps. The fair value of the money market funds, classified as a Level 3, utilized an income approach model and was based upon expected future cash flows from accumulated cash in the fund and future maturities of the remaining securities held in the fund. During the first six months of 2009, redemptions of $4million were received from the Reserve Fund-Primary Fund and redemptions of $13 million were received from the Reserve Fund-International Liquidity Fund. No current valuations had been issued by either fund, and RAI was unable to identify a similar fund that carried identical holdings. As a result, the observable transactions and pricing were not current. The funds did issue a detailed listing of the securities that were held and not matured, as well as their face value and maturity date. This observable data, along with unobservable factors such as assumptions about fund liquidation of accumulated cash and the collectability of the outstanding underlying securities were used to determine the fair value of the funds as of June30, 2009. The fair value of the auction rate securities, either related to certain financial insurance companies or linked to the longer-term credit risk of a diverse range of corporatio |

Intangible Assets [Abstract] | |
Intangible Assets | Note 3 Intangible Assets The carrying amounts of indefinite-lived intangible assets by segment not subject to amortization were as follows: RJR Tobacco Conwood All Other Consolidated Trademarks $ 1,653 $ 1,222 $ 155 $ 3,030 Other intangibles 55 48 103 Balance as of December31, 2008 $ 1,708 $ 1,222 $ 203 $ 3,133 Trademarks $ 1,277 $ 1,152 $ 155 $ 2,584 Other intangibles 99 4 103 Balance as of June30, 2009 $ 1,376 $ 1,152 $ 159 $ 2,687 Concurrent with the transfer of the management of tobacco products sold to certain U.S. territories, U.S. duty-free shops and U.S. overseas military bases, from R. J. Reynolds Global Products, Inc., referred to as GPI, to RJR Tobacco on January1, 2009, a $44million indefinite-lived intangible asset was transferred from All Other to RJR Tobacco. During the first quarter of 2009, President Obama signed into law an increase of $0.62 in the federal excise tax per pack of cigarettes as well as significant tax increases on other tobacco products, to fund expansion of the State Childrens Health Insurance Program, referred to as the SCHIP. The tax increases were effective April1, 2009. The increase in federal excise tax was expected to adversely impact the net sales of RAIs operating subsidiaries. This event was considered a triggering event and required the testing for impairment of the carrying value of trademarks and goodwill during the first quarter of 2009. As a result of this testing, RJR Tobacco recorded a trademark impairment charge of $377million, and Conwood recorded a trademark impairment charge of $76million in the first quarter of 2009. These charges were based on the excess of certain brands carrying values over their estimated fair values. The analysis of the fair value of trademarks in accordance with SFAS No.142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, was based on estimates of fair value on an income approach using a discounted cash flow valuation model under a relief from royalty methodology. The relief from royalty model includes the estimates of the royalty rate that a market participant might assume, projected revenues and judgment regarding the 10.50% discount rate applied to those estimated cash flows. The determination of the discount rate was based on a cost of equity model, using a risk-free rate, adjusted by a stock beta-adjusted risk premium and a size premium. The trademark impairment charge is reflected as a decrease in the carrying value of the trademarks in the condensed consolidated balance sheet (unaudited)as of June30, 2009, as a trademark impairment charge in the condensed consolidated statement of income (unaudited)for the six months ended June30, 2009, and had no impact on cash flows.

Restructuring Charges | Note 4 Restructuring Charges 2008 Restructuring Charge In 2008, RAI and RJR Tobacco announced changes in their organizational structures to streamline non-core business processes and programs in order to allocate additional resources to strategic growth initiatives. The reorganizations will result in the elimination of approximately 600 full-time jobs, expected to be substantially completed by December31, 2009. Under existing benefit plans, $83million of severance-related cash benefits and $7million of non-cash pension-related benefits comprised a restructuring charge of $90million in 2008. Of this charge, $81million was recorded in the RJR Tobacco segment. Of the cash portion of the charge, $23million was paid as of June30, 2009. Accordingly, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet (unaudited)as of June30, 2009, $41million was included in other current liabilities, and $19million was included in other noncurrent liabilities. The cash benefits are expected to be substantially paid by December31, 2010. The component of the restructuring charge accrued and utilized was as follows: Employee Severance and Benefits Original accrual $ 91 Utilized in 2008 (12 ) Adjusted in 2008 (1 ) Balance as of December31, 2008 78 Utilized in 2009 (18 ) Balance as of June30, 2009 $ 60 |

Income Per Share [Abstract] | |
Income Per Share | Note 5 Income Per Share On January1, 2009, RAI adopted FSP No.EITF 03-6-1, which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share. Unvested restricted shares awarded under the 2007 and 2008 LTIP grants have been determined to be participating securities as defined by FSP No.EITF 03-6-1 because they have non-forfeitable dividend rights equivalent to common shares. Accordingly, these restricted shares are included in the basic EPS calculation for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 and retrospectively in the basic EPS calculation for the second quarter and first six months of 2008.

The funds associated with the auction rate securities will not be accessible until a successful auction occurs or a buyer is found. The mortgage-backed security matures in March2010. RAI is in the process of evaluating its alternatives surrounding extending this investment beyond 2010. RAI reviews these investments on a quarterly basis to determine if it is probable that RAI will realize some portion of the unrealized loss in accordance with SFAS No.115, FSP No.FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, FSP No.EITF 99-20-1 and FSP No.FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 to determine the classification of the impairment as temporary or other-tha |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Note 8 Income Taxes The provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2009 was $225million, or an effective rate of 37.4%, compared with $216million, or an effective rate of 37.2%, in the second quarter of 2008. The provision for income taxes in the first six months of 2009 was $234million, or an effective rate of 37.8%, compared with $507million, or an effective rate of 36.8%, in the first six months of 2008. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2009 was unfavorably impacted by increases in unrecognized income tax benefits and increases in tax attributable to accumulated and undistributed foreign earnings. The effective rate for the first six months of 2008 was favorably impacted by a lower tax rate related to the gain on the termination of the Reynolds-Gallaher International Sarl joint venture. The effective rate exceeds the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the impact of state taxes and certain other nondeductible items, offset by the domestic production activities deduction of the American Jobs Creation Act, enacted on October22, 2004. The gross accruals for unrecognized income tax benefits, including interest and penalties, reflected in other noncurrent liabilities were $164million and $159million at June30, 2009 and December31, 2008, respectively. RAI accrues interest and penalties related to accruals for income taxes and reflects these amounts in tax expense. The gross amount of interest accrued at June30, 2009 and December31, 2008, was $53million and $50million, respectively. The gross amount of penalties accrued was $12million at June30, 2009 and December31, 2008. Gross increases in unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions were $3million for the six months ended June30, 2009, attributable to current year tax positions. Gross decreases in unrecognized tax benefits were $1million for the six months ended June30, 2009, attributable to prior-year tax positions. As of June30, 2009, $58million of unrecognized tax benefits and $45million of interest and penalties, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Included in the provision for income taxes for the three months and six months ended June30, 2009, was $2million and $4million of additional tax expense, including $1million and $3million of interest expense, net of federal benefit, and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. Comparable amounts for the three and six months ended June30, 2008, were $1million and $9million of additional tax expense, including $1million and $2million of interest expense, net of federal benefit, and penalties, respectively. RAI and its subsidiaries may be subject to income taxes in the United States, certain foreign jurisdictions and multiple state jurisdictions. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which RAI has established an accrual, is audited and finally resolved. The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. RAIs major taxing jurisdictions and related open tax audits are discussed below.

Financial Instruments | Note 9 Financial Instruments Fair Value of Debt The estimated fair value of RAIs and RJRs outstanding long-term notes was $4.1billion and $3.5billion with an effective average annual interest rate of 5.49% and 5.67%, as of June30, 2009 and December31, 2008, respectively. The fair values are based on available market quotes, credit spreads and discounted cash flows, as appropriate. Interest Rate Management RAI and RJR use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk on a portion of their respective debt obligations.

RAI and RJR assess at the inception of the hedge whether the hedging derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value of the hedged item. Ineffectiveness results when changes in the market value of the hedged debt are not completely offset by changes in the market value of the interest rate swap. There was no ineffectiveness recognized related to derivative instruments during 2009 or 2008. As detailed below, at June30, 2009, RAI and RJR had no derivative instruments designated as hedges. On January6, 2009, the fair value of RAIs and RJRs fixed to floating interest rate swaps, designated as hedges, was $258million. RAI and RJR locked in the value of these swaps by entering into offsetting floating to fixed interest rate swap agreements in the notional amount of $1.5billion with maturity dates ranging from June1, 2012 to June15, 2017. The floating to fixed interest rate swaps were entered into with the same financial institution that holds a notional amount of $1.5billion of fixed to floating interest rate swaps and have a legal right of offset. The future cash flows, established as a result of entering into the January6, 2009, floating to fixed interest rate swaps, total $321million, and will be amortized and effectively reduce net interest costs over the remaining life of the notes. Concurrent with entering the floating to fixed interest rate swap agreements on January6, 2009, which were not designated as hedging instruments, RAI and RJR removed the designation of fair value hedge from the fixed to floating interest rate swaps. On January7, 2009, RAI and RJR terminated an interest rate swap agreement in the notional amount of $100million with a maturity date of June1, 2 |

These pending legal proceedings include claims relating to cigarette products manufactured by RJR Tobacco or certain of its affiliates and indemnitees, as well as claims relating to smokeless tobacco products manufactured by the Conwood companies. A discussion of the legal proceedings relating to cigarette products is set forth below under the heading Litigation Affecting the Cigarette Industry. All of the references under that heading to tobacco-related litigation, smoking and health litigation and other similar references are references to legal proceedings relating to cigarette products and are not references to legal proceedings involving smokeless tobacco products, and case numbers under that heading include only cases involving cigarette products. The legal proceedings relating to the smokeless tobacco products manufactured by the Conwood companies are discussed separately under the heading " Smokeless Tobacco Litigation below. In connection with the BW business combination, RJR Tobacco has agreed to indemnify BW and its affiliates, including its indirect parent, British American Tobacco p.l.c., referred to as BAT, against certain liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by BW or its affiliates arising out of the U.S. cigarette and tobacco business of BW. As a result of this indemnity, RJR Tobacco has assumed the defense of pending BW-specific tobacco-related litigation, has paid the judgments and costs related to certain pre-business combination tobacco-related litigation of BW, and has posted bonds on behalf of BW, where necessary, in connection with cases decided since the BW business combination. In addition, pursuant to this indemnity, RJR Tobacco expensed less than $1million during each of the first six months of 2009 and 2008 for funds to be reimbursed to BAT for costs and expenses incurred arising out of certain tobacco-related litigation. Certain Terms and Phrases Certain terms and phrases used in this disclosure may require some explanation. The term judgment or final judgment refers to the final decision of the court resolving the dispute and determining the rights and obligations of the parties. At the trial court level, for example, a final judgment generally is entered by the court after a jury verdict and after post-verdict motions have been decided. In most cases, the losing party can appeal a verdict only after a final judgment has been entered by the trial court. The term damages refers to the amount of money sought by a plaintiff in a complaint, or awarded to a party by a jury or, in some cases, by a judge. Compensatory damages are awarded to compensate the prevailing party for actual losses suffered, if liability is proved. In cases in which there is a finding |

Stock Plans [Abstract] | |
Stock Plans | Note 12 Stock Plans In February2009, the board of directors of RAI approved a grant, to key employees of RAI and its subsidiaries, of nonvested share units under the LTIP, effective March2, 2009, which will be settled exclusively in shares of RAI common stock. The 1,382,243 units were granted based on the average per share closing price of RAI common stock for the 60 trading days prior to the grant date, or $39.23. These units generally will vest on March2, 2012. Upon settlement, each grantee will receive a number of shares of RAIs common stock equal to the product of the number of vested units and a percentage from 0%-150% based on the average RAI annual incentive award plan score over the three-year period ending December31, 2011. As an equity-based grant, compensation expense relating to the February2009 LTIP grant will take into account the vesting period lapsed and will be calculated on the per share closing price of RAI common stock on the date of grant, or $33.10. Dividends paid on shares of RAI common stock will accumulate on the units and be paid to the grantee on the vesting date. If RAI fails to pay its shareholders cumulative dividends of at least $10.20 per share for the three-year performance period ending December31, 2011, then each award will be reduced by an amount equal to three times the percentage of the dividend underpayment, up to a maximum reduction of 50%. The LTIP expired on June14, 2009. The outstanding grants made under the LTIP prior to its expiration will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. In May2009, the shareholders of RAI approved the Reynolds American Inc. 2009 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, referred to as the Omnibus Plan. Subject to adjustments as set forth in the Omnibus Plan, the maximum number of shares of RAI common stock that may be issued with respect to awards under the Omnibus Plan will not exceed 19,000,000 shares in the aggregate. |

Reynolds Tobacco Company. The Conwood segment consists of Conwood Holdings, Inc., the primary operations of the Conwood companies and Lane. RAIs wholly owned subsidiary, Santa Fe, among others, is included in All Other. The segments were identified based on how RAIs chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance. Some of RAIs wholly owned operating subsidiaries have entered into intercompany agreements for products or services with other RAI operating subsidiaries. As a result, certain activities of an operating subsidiary may be included in a different segment of RAI. RAIs largest reportable operating segment, RJR Tobacco, is the second largest cigarette manufacturer in the United States. RJR Tobaccos largest-selling cigarette brands, CAMEL, PALL MALL, WINSTON, KOOL and DORAL, were five of the ten best-selling brands of cigarettes in the United States as of June30, 2009. Those brands, and its other brands, including SALEM, MISTY and CAPRI, are manufactured in a variety of styles and marketed in the United States. RJR Tobacco also manages contract manufacturing of cigarette and tobacco products through arrangements with BAT affiliates. On January1, 2009, the management of tobacco products sold to certain U.S. territories, U.S. duty-free shops and U.S. overseas military bases was transferred to RJR Tobacco from GPI. RAIs other reportable operating segment, Conwood, is the second largest smokeless tobacco products manufacturer in the United States. Conwoods primary brands include its largest-selling moist snuff brands, GRIZZLY, the best-selling moist snuff brand in the United States as of June30, 2009, and KODIAK. Conwoods other products include loose leaf chewing tobacco, dry snuff, plug and twist tobacco products, as well as WINCHESTER and CAPTAIN BLACK little cigars, and BUGLER roll-your-own tobacco.

The financial position and results of operations of this operating segment do not meet the materiality criteria to be reportable. The amounts with respect to the income statements presented for prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the current segment composition. Intersegment revenues and items below the operating income line of the condensed consolidated statements of income are not presented by segment, since they are excluded from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by RAIs chief operating decision maker.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Party Transactions | Note 14 Related Party Transactions RAIs operating subsidiaries engage in transactions with affiliates of BAT, the indirect parent of BW. The following is a summary of balances and transactions with such BAT affiliates. Balances: June 30, December 31, 2009 2008 Accounts receivable, BAT $ 63 $ 91 Due to BAT 3 3 Deferred revenue, BAT 24 50 Transactions for the six months ended June30: 2009 2008 Net sales, related party, BAT $ 199 $ 222 Research and development services billed to BAT 1 1 Purchases from BAT 8 5 Equipment lease payments to BAT 1 RAIs operating subsidiaries sell contract-manufactured cigarettes, processed strip leaf, pipe tobacco and little cigars to BAT affiliates. Pricing for contract-manufactured cigarettes is generally calculated based on 2004 prices, using BWs forecasted 2004 manufacturing costs plus 10%, increased by a multiple equal to the increase in the Producer Price Index for subsequent years, reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Net sales to BAT affiliates, primarily cigarettes, represented approximately 5.0% of RAIs total net sales during the six months ended June30, 2009. RJR Tobacco records deferred sales revenue relating to leaf sold to BAT affiliates that has not been delivered as of the end of the respective quarter, given that RJR Tobacco has a legal right to bill the BAT affiliates. Leaf sales revenue to BAT affiliates is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer. RJR Tobacco performs certain research and development for BAT affiliates pursuant to a joint technology sharing agreement entered into as a part of the BW business combination. These services were accrued and billed to BAT affiliates and were recorded in RJR Tobaccos selling, general and administrative expenses, net of associated costs. RAIs operating subsidiaries also purchase unprocessed leaf at market prices, and import cigarettes at prices not to exceed manufacturing costs plus 10%, from BAT affiliates. The payable due to related party in the condensed consolidated balance sheet (unaudited)primarily relates to cigarette purchases. RJR Tobacco leases certain cigarette manufacturing equipment from a BAT affiliate. RJR Tobacco recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, funds to indemnify BW and its affiliates for costs and expenses related to tobacco-related litigation in the United States.
