The number of female smokers in Pakistan 'is on the rise'

[FalconsForPeace]

The number of female smokers in Pakistan has tended to be very low when compared to men who smoke.

But anti-smoking campaigners say there has been a five percent increase in the number of women smokers in Pakistan over the last three years.

In Pakistan's conservative society, women who smoke are often frowned upon, which means that many have to smoke in secret.

As anti-smoking regulations tighten in the developed world, the tobacco companies target future victims in the developing world, where governments can be easily bribed to stay out of their way.

In India a lot of girls in the big cities (like Delhi or Bombay) smoke in college for style, usually Marlboro lights. They generally quit it after college though.

Smoking marlboro light is a waste of money.

I'm a Kashmiri so you've started calling yourself a Kashmiri, I'm a Punjabi so you've started calling yourself a Punjabi & now I'm Asthmatic so you've started calling yourself Asthmatic - When will this Hero Worship end !

 

[Chronos]

Sure they smoke now, next they will be having orgies in the street. Ridiculous. They should be given lashes! (get your mind out of the gutter )

But what @Developereo sounds about right.

Tobacco companies have shifted their focus to China, India and other countries.
