Not Up in Smoke: Smoking Business Opportunities

In the United States, only about 20% of the population are smokers. Though sometimes here in smokeless California it might not seem that there’s not much of a market for products related to smoking, but that 20% corresponds to almost fifty million people in the US alone! Globally, some estimates place the percentage of smokers as high as 33%. No matter how you look at it, that’s a huge market, and it generates a large amount of business opportunities and product creation.
