Industry critics who hope that the multination tobacco companies are headed for extinction owe themselves a stroll down the tobacco-scented streets of almost any

13、city in Asia. Almost everywhere here the air is thick with the swirling gray haze of cigarette smoke, the evidence of a booming Asian growth market that promises vast profits for the tobacco industry and a death toll measured in the tens of millions. 3. At lunchtime in Seoul, throngs of fashionably

14、dressed young Korean women gather in a fast-food restaurant to enjoy a last cigarette before returning to work, a scene that draws distressed stares from older Koreans who remember a time when it would have been scandalous for women from respectable homes to smoke. 4. In Hong Kong, shoppers flock in

15、to the Salem Attitudes boutique, picking from among the racks of trendy sports clothes stamped with the logo of Salem cigarettes. In Phnom Penh, the war-shattered capital of Cambodia, visitors leaving an audience with King Sihanouk are greeted with a giant billboard planted across the street from hi

16、s gold-roofed palace. It advertises Lucky Strikes. 5. According to tobacco industry projections cited by the World Health Organization, the Asian cigarette market should grow by more than a third during the 1990s, with much of the money going to multinational tobacco giants eager for an alternative

17、to the shrinking market in the United States. 6. American cigarette sales are expected to decline by about 15% by the end of the decade, a reflection of the move to ban smoking in most public places in the United States. And sales in Western Europe and other industrialized countries are also expecte

18、d to drop.7. But no matter how bad the news is in the West, the tobacco companies can find comfort in Asia and throughout the third world, markets so huge and so promising that they make the once all-important American market seem insignificant. Beyond Asia, cigarette consumption is also expected to

19、 grow in Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe and in the nations of the former Soviet Union. 8.Smoking is not only tolerated in most of Asia, it is still fashionable. And for millions of smokers here, nothing confers greater status than a pack of American or European-brand cigarettes. No gift is mo

20、re appreciated in Vietnam than British-made 555 cigarettes. In China, the choice is Marlboro. Among the gentry of Thailand, it is Dunhill. 9. Status appears to matter far more than taste. “There is not a great deal of evidence to suggest that smokers can taste any difference between the more expensi

21、ve foreign brands and the home-made cigarettes,” said Simon Chapman, a specialist in community medicine at the University of Sydney, in AUSTRALIA. “The difference appears to be in the packaging, the advertising.” 10. He said that researchers had been unable to determine whether the foreign tobacco c

22、ompanies had adjusted the levels of tar, nicotine and other chemicals for cigarettes sold in the Asian market. “The tobacco industry fights tooth and nail to keep consumers away from the kind of information,” he said.Pre-reading tasksWhy had anti-smoking campaigns lost the battle to cigarette compan

23、ies? 11. Most governments in Asia have launched anti-smoking campaigns, but their efforts tend to be overwhelmed by the Madison Avenue glitz unlashed by the cigarette giants. Several tobacco companies often find ways around the bans through indirect promotions that skirt the lawsports events, glossy

24、 advertisements for clothing brands or travel agencies that bear that name and logo of a cigarette brand. 12. With 1.2 billion people and the worlds fastest-growing economy, China is the most coveted target of the multinational tobacco companies. Cigarette consumption, calculated as the number of ci

25、garettes smoked per adult, has increased by 7 percent each year over the last decade in China. There are 300 million smokers in China, more people than the entire population of the United States, and they buy 1.6 trillion cigarettes a year. 13. Competing in many cases with domestically produced bran

26、ds, the multinational tobacco companies are moving quickly to get their cigarettes into China and emerging markets in the rest of the developing world. Their campaign has been bolstered by the efforts of American Government trade negotiators to force open tobacco markets overseas. 14. Since the mid-

27、1980s, Japan, South Korea, Chinese Taiwan and Thailand have all succumbed to pressure form Washington and allowed the sale of foreign-brand cigarettes. Foreign cigarettes, shut out of Japan in 1980, now make up nearly 20 percent of the market. 15. Anti-smoking groups in Asia, often critical of the B

Richard Peto, and Oxford University epidemiologist, has estimated that because of increasing tobacco consumption in Asia, the annual worldwide de

34、ath toll from tobacco-related illnesses will more than triple over the next two or three decades, from about 3 million a year to 10 million a year. 18. “If you look at the number of deaths, the tobacco problem in Asia is going to dwarf tuberculosis, its going to dwarf malaria and its going to dwarf

35、AIDS, yet its being totally ignored,” said Judith Mackay, a British physician who is a consultant to the Chinese Government in developing an anti-smoking program.
