From: American Spirit Orange vs. Blue: Unpacking the Differences in Tobacco Strength
perspectiveconsumer

For many consumers, the choice between Orange and Blue is all about personal preference and habit. Some smokers prefer the stronger, more robust feeling of the Blue pack, believing it gives them a more satisfying 'hit' of nicotine. Others find the Blue too harsh and opt for the smoother, milder experience of the Orange pack. There's also a perception among some that 'additive-free' means it's a 'better' or 'less harmful' choice, even though scientific evidence doesn't support this. This belief, combined with specific taste or strength preferences, drives their purchasing decisions.
