A recent article from the Financial Times (FT) argues that
Tobacco use is still rising -- although the majority of established
markets have stalled and approximately four in every five smokers
are in developing economies. "Where there is potential for faster
growth in emerging markets than in mature, it will be driven by
pricing and trading up," Oriel Securities analyst Chris Wickham
told FT.
Global Industry Analysts Inc. (GIA) recently issued a report
stating that major factors driving emerging market tobacco growth
include rising demand for international brands and favorable
socio-economic factors.

GIA also says that regulations and bans across developed markets
such as the US have prompted manufacturers to shift their focus in
developed markets towards expanding existing smokeless tobacco
range offering cigarette consumers an alternative to tobacco.
Star Scientific, Inc. engages in the development,
implementation, and licensing of tobacco curing technology that
prevents the formation of carcinogenic toxins present in tobacco
and tobacco smoke, primarily the tobacco-specific nitrosamines.
