hmmmm, would like to see the US response to this treaty. After all, we are the most free, right? Even though it says Japan was the most resistant to this treaty.

I'd guess that Japan taxes the crap out of that "article of taste" just like the US does.
Can't have revenues drop all of a sudden can we?

Seriously, they do smoke up a storm but so do many other countries - few of which are actually producers of anything remotely tobacco like.

This has been in the works for between 6 months to a year.
It is being driven by the UNs health arm WHO (World Health Organization).
They want an international tobacco tax and the governments that sign on will have specific ways given them to cut tobacco consumption.
