Prolog;To open my stupid metropolis opinion; I have simple question for us to answer and discussion together; which Countries give Marlboro Lucky Strikes profit? And Why Poor Countries are the biggest cigarettes market segment? Or why Poor Countries consume the biggest portion of Global Cigarettes Production?

Japanese Television and Newspapers launched the news that Government has been making good constitution about Smokers maniac. Government prohibited smoker to do their hobby; smoking in public area (public goods areas). The Government also provides the limited areas for smoker. Funny story from Japanese news that government makes a narrow room, transparent with glasses for smokers, so we can see smokers sit and enjoy the cigarettes. The Japanese government targeting those smokers will be shy because people can see smokers freely.

The case also happened in Europe and America. Government prohibits and does some actions explicitly based on relating regulations. The regulation is working so far. Health is the main and important reason why governments in many countries do the regulation; limiting and reducing quantity smokers.

Otherwise; in poor countries, the governments still scare and be wary to legalize the regulations. Jakarta-Indonesia for example, had been running the regulation but stop in recent months. No others place except Jakarta did the regulations.

Which Countries give Marlboro Lucky Strikes profit?

Number of Smokers rate in development counties (rich countries) has been reducing significantly where the rules (regulations) run. High in daily activities (in my stupid metropolis opinion) is main reason. Busy in activities, shy culture within makes people can’t freely to breath the HOLY SEAT! Governments (development countries) are very concern on health as basic needs for citizen. Governments also concern about highest death rate caused by cancers.

Why rich countries (development countries) brave to stop or reduce cigarettes offers? The main reason is they national budget is not dependent by cigarettes taxes. Governments have others income. That is the main point.

Let us see how about poor countries!

There are two reasons why cigarettes consumers are still high. First reason comes from government hasn’t others alternative for their income. So budgets are dependent to cigarettes tax. Cigarettes tax (tobacco tax) still play important roles as the main income for countries, so government unable to reduce the consumers. They know about the smoke impact but they have another alternative; subsidy to hospital, cross subsidy to health sectors.

The second reason is the citizen behaviors. High on unemployment and poverty make the citizen has no activities so leisure time is larger than work times. Leisure-unemployment and poverty makes the citizens to find some shortcut to getting rich. Dreaming, crowd, makes them have more time and opportunity to smoke.
