The meaning of the words created in the slogan are full of implied meaning or implicature. The study focus on the implicature that expressed in in the cigarette slogans. The manufacturers used the strategy in order to attract the attention of the audiences, and as a mean of selling, persuading people to buy the product, promoting, and creating brand image of their products.

Implicature is the implied meaning behind words and pictures that needs to be studied in order to know the meaning behind that. The data were all of the words that consist of implied meaning in the cigarettes‟ slogans. The results show that the cigarette products have their own slogan, message, lifestyle and they are suitable for certain community.

These contexts have important role to reveal true intent, purpose and meaning of the cigarette slogans. So, the reader and costumer can identify and understand the ideas of the slogans.
