In 1999 when this brand was manufactured by Seita, the French health insurance fund filed a lawsuit against four cigarette manufacturers, including Seita. The suit was filed to cover the costs of treating ailments due to cigarette smoking. This suit was followed by more suits, one by the family of a deceased person who was a heavy smoker and then by the French health state insurer. Hence the brand administration was shifted to Altadis which is a joint French and Spanish ownership and later this company was acquired by the current owner Imperial Tobacco Company.

Some of the widely available styles of Gauloises cigarettes are: Soft, Lights, Medium, Super Light, KS, Gold and Filter. Gauloises smoking was also promoted as a contribution to the national good. Part of the profits that were made by this brand was given to an organization called Régie Française des Tabacs. This was an organization which worked to control the use of tobacco products by people, especially minors and teenagers. Part of the fund also went for promoting other good causes.
