SMOKING IN ASIA
While tobacco companies face restrictions in Europe and USA, tobacco consumption in many Asian countries is
on the increase. Smoking American or European cigarettes is seen as fashionable. A few Asian governments
have followed the example of Western nations: tobacco advertising on television and radio has been forbidden.
5However, the tobacco companies still find ways to get their message to the people of these extremely populated
countries.
While adult males have been the most common smokers in Asia, advertising aimed particularly at
women and young people is trying to change that. Growing numbers of Asian women see smoking as a sign of
their liberation. The multinational tobacco companies say that they do not intend to promote smoking among
10non-smokers in Asia. Instead, they say that they want Asian smokers to change their favourite kind of cigarettes.
The evidence suggests the opposite, however. It was precisely in Hong Kong, where few women smoked, that
the American company S&M introduced their Victoria Slims, a cigarette brand aimed at women.
Doctors and scientists are concerned about how smoking will affect the health of the Asian people.
Scientists estimate that because of the rising tobacco consumption in Asia, the annual worldwide number of
15deaths due to tobacco will triple over the next two or three decades.
