...taxation and restriction as the two
fundamental ways that government
and antismoking coalitions are

in places like Russia and Africa
and tobacco taxes going through

be the best ways to stem the tide
of nicotine addiction; but hitting
the smoking population in the
pocketbook and restricting public
access to places to smoke appear
to be having a favorable impact in
steering the world towards a more
smoke free destination.
This one-two punch combination
looks like it's working....
