Jittery JT to launch six new products next month
The Japan Times: Dec. 2, 2003
....The principal factor behind this aggressive product launch is the very survival of the tobacco giant....
For the current fiscal year, JT expects domestic cigarette sales to drop by 5 percent to 217 billion cigarettes.
More immediately, JT is under pressure to come up with popular new brands that will make up for the departure of Marlboro cigarettes.
The company announced in August that it had agreed with Philip Morris International against renewing a Marlboro licensing deal upon its expiration at the end of April 2005. In fiscal 2002, JT sold some 26.7 billion Marlboro cigarettes in Japan, earning some 12 billion yen in operating profit.

I thought it would be a little funny but I am in fits of laughter now and the OL's are staring at me. But really I have never smoked. I dont think I would feel I liked it.
