Smoking up in poor nations as symbol of modernity
A Worldwatch Institute report for the Rockefeller-funded health project says cigarette use rises in poorer nations as elites push smoking as progress. It notes global consumption exceeds 85 to 100 billion dollars annually, with China as a major producer and Western ads less restrictive abroad. US adults who smoke fell from 42% in 1964 to 34% today, yet Americans remain the heaviest users with about 11,000 cigarettes per year per person.
