Research and Markets: Tobacco in Western Europe

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rwnrkg/tobacco_in) has announced the addition of the "Tobacco in Western Europe" report to their offering.

In an environment of high taxes and harsh anti-smoking measures, Western Europe has seen some of the world's biggest falls in cigarette volumes with attendant rises in RYO and cigarillos as consumers seek a cheaper smoke.
