Covering the economic and industrial might of Japan

Japan Tobacco will give the EU government $400 million over the next 15 years to help combat the sale of illegal and fake cigarettes.

Japan Tobacco International is the world's third larges tobacco maker, selling more than 400 billion cigarettes a year.

Let's see, that's $1 to fight for every 1,000 coffin nails they sell.

In exchange, JTI will be shielded from past lawsuits which arose from cigarette seizures in Europe.

JTI will also do more to prevent smuggling of "genuine cigs."

One method, developing packaging that can be tracked during distribution.

I wonder if the tracking will allow analyzers to determine from which pack a person smoked their last cigarette....and died.

Do you smoke?
