Analyst Opinion

Smoking Tobacco (including pipe tobacco but excluding smokeless tobacco) is mostly relevant in markets where taxation differentials induce consumers to substitute ready-made cigarettes with roll-your-own cigarettes. To make overall per-capita consumption more comparable, smoking tobacco is described in terms of grams here, with one gram of tobacco roughly equaling the content of one filter cigarette.
