It is young women who have been taking up fags big time in many western
countries. And overall consumption is price sensitive so it is not a
stupid thing for governments to exercise a little control here.

They must keep it as high a price as possible without causing people to
resort to crime to obtain it.

By the way, Travis, here is a nice example where the zoom feature in
Opera (and I presume FF3 and IE7) comes into its own:

<http://www1.worldbank.org/tobacco/book/html/chapter1.htm>

I needed to zoom the diagram to read it properly. It is a badly made gif
in the first place, not only too small but not sharp. But here the zoom
helps out without having to do some precious Bergamot thing of getting
all in a huff and finding an alternative site.
