According to a study by the Capital Medical University in Beijing, the proportion of smokers in the capital dropped from 34.5% in 1997 to 23% last year. But those who keep at it can be a stubborn lot. When Meizhou Dongpo, a restaurant chain, tried to implement a total smoking ban at its Beijing outlets last October, it saw a rapid and drastic decline in its business. The chain's waitresses found themselves locked out of private dining rooms by renegade puffers. So, while the authorities have even encouraged citizens to rat on violators through a new telephone hotline, resistance from dedicated nicotine fiends, as well as worried restaurants--originally to be covered by an outright ban--has already led to a watering down of the restrictions. As rich countries have clamped down on smoking, tobacco firms have shifted their focus to less developed places. The tobacco industry is regrouping in order to focus on "promising" markets and escape the pesky lawsuits it is likely to face in rich, litigious countries. China is now home to more than a quarter of the world's smokers, and it will soon be manufacturing one of the world's leading cigarettes for the second largest seller of cigarettes in the world, a firm that will also be exporting Chinese tobacco to other countries. Selling cigarettes is an extremely profitable business and the Chief Financial Officer of this tobacco group has just spent over $1 million of his own money buying his company's shares.
