Smoke to Support China

Even though it’s China, I have a hard time believing this story is completely true as laid out by the article. Apparently China is putting quotas on smoking so people continue to buy cigarettes, allowing China to weather out the economic times by living off the taxes. The funeral business is going to boom along with the cigarette business.

Suddenly I’m not so worried about China becoming a true super power with policies like this.
