There's plenty of excitement in the stock market right now as artificial intelligence (AI) technology drives huge gains from some stocks. While investing in AI could be a good idea, it's not the only way to generate solid long-term returns. Don't forget about boring, unloved stocks trading at pessimistic prices.
Two boring stocks worth buying today are tobacco giant British American Tobacco (NYSE: BTI) and telecom titan AT&T (NYSE: T) .
While the tobacco industry may not seem all that exciting, a major transition is currently playing out.

According to YouGov, vape usage among U.S. adults surged nearly 40% between 2019 and 2023.
