Eventually, ALL of the tobacco companies will merge into one giant conglomerate--Big Cig.

As the US continues its use of cigs, the market and the seat of power in the tobacco industry shifts overseas.

Yes. I've already been weening myself down to just smoking half a smoke over the last 8 months, and since I don't smoke during my working hours, it's only when I have a drink in hand after work. Mind you, it's taken years to get to this point,know that for a fact. I'm actually well on my way to cutting it off permanently, so, "Yes". I am used to the 'Box' Taste.

"As the US continues its use of cigs, the market and the seat of power in the tobacco industry shifts overseas."
And continued government meddling in Tobacco will one day cause the companies to close down US production and move everything offshore...in the process telling the Fed. and trail lawyers to shove their restrictions and settlements up their ass...IMO, of course
Which be be funnier to watch, the masses in nicotine withdrawl or the State Governments crying over lost cig. tax revenue?
