Among the most striking public health conundrums today is how little we know about the world's largest producer and consumer of cigarettes. China is home to an estimated third of the world's smokers—more than 300 million people who collectively consume around 40% of the world's cigarettes. The China National Tobacco Corporation and its administrative arm, the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, supply an estimated 2600 billion cigarettes annually to meet this enormous demand. The rest are locally manufactured, imported, or smuggled international brands of leading transnational tobacco companies. The human cost in China from this vast tobacco market is an estimated 1·2 million deaths each year (about 12% of all deaths) and is predicted to rise to 2 million deaths by 2020.
