    Fewer smokers smoking more cigarettes?

    JT don't take stats on smoking by minors. How can you trust anything a tobacco company says?

    "Privatization in 1985"? JT's still a mere 50 percent owned by the Japanese Government... And while the Japanese government tries to dissuade foreign companies from buying stakes in Japanese companies (see the latest TCI story), JT which it half owns is out buying public companies such as Gallaher (UK) in order to poision people with carginogenic products across the world.

    Kinda ironic, don't ya think?

    Amazing that the writer of this article still has a job. In a monopoly for an addictive product your share is 'fixed'. How moronic to waste time on even considering JT as an orthodox corporation.

    unscrejects - JT is not a monopoly, it is the only domestic producer. There are obviously other tobacco companies selling cigarettes in Japan, just not with the same number of brands or comparable market share - hence the story.
