As a reformed smoker of nearly three decades, Christopher Chausse gives you his straightforward perspective on understanding the smoking habit, the tobacco industry, and the mystifying emotions that entangle the mind of a smoker. His jovial “what’s the worst that can happen” approach will open your eyes to new alternatives and will have you knowing that you too can be smoke free if you desire. Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death describes the methodology, principles, and more importantly the attitude and mind-set of what it takes to become smoke free. Then through his simple Time Compartment Management (TCM) system you’ll learn control; you’ll learn how to convert subconscious habits into conscious choices; you’ll also learn that time is your friend, not your enemy. Whether you’ve smoked for 5 years or 40; whether you smoke 1 pack a day or 3, with this approach you can break those nicotine shackles forever. By applying these simple time management principles to your life, you’ll enable yourself to take back control of the time you spend smoking, then simply fill those vacant time slots with something beautiful…your freedom.
This report was created for global strategic planners who cannot be content with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a “borderless world”, cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market. In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services across cities. The purpose of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another. In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for the world's major cities for "little cigarette-size cigars weighing less than 3 pounds per 1,000 cigars" for the year 2007. The goal of this report is to report my findings on the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by a city when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales. For many items, latent demand is clearly observable in sales, as in the case for food or housing items. Consider, however, the category "satellite launch vehicles". Clearly, there are no launch pads in most cities of the world. However, the core benefit of the vehicles (e.g. telecommunications, etc.) is "consumed" by residents or industries within the world's cities. Without certain cities, in other words, the market for satellite launch vehicles would be lower for the world in general. One needs to allocate, therefore, a portion of the worldwide economic demand for launch vehicles to both regions and cities. This report takes the broader definition and considers, therefore, a city as a part of the global market.
The Cigarette Smoking and Nursing Home Utilization in the United States represents a timely, thoughtful, and pioneering examination of the relationship between cigarette smoking and the cost of nursing home care. Although there have been many studies of the cost of smoking, very few studies have focused on the costs of nursing home care due to smoking. This book takes us through a comprehensive literature review of the risk factors affecting nursing home utilization, the epidemiology of smoking and disease, mortality due to smoking, and use of medical care services caused by smoking. Dr. Zhang is most innovative in demonstrating that a smoking spouse increased the likelihood of widowhood, which in turn increased his/her use and cost of nursing home care. It shows that the higher rate of premature death of smoking spouses resulted in a higher probability of widowhood and a higher rate of nursing home care and higher nursing home costs. This careful and thorough analysis represents a major contribution to the literature on the cost of smoking, and it is a ?must? read for researchers and economists interested in improving the methodology for estimating cost of illness studies.
This study covers the latent demand outlook for filter-tip tobacco and non-tobacco cigarettes up to 80 millimeters long across the states, union territories and cities of India. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 5,000 cities in India. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it’s state or union territory and of India as a whole is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-à-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each state or union territory and city, latent demand estimates are created for filter-tip tobacco and non-tobacco cigarettes up to 80 millimeters long. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.
This study covers the latent demand outlook for menthol cigarettes across the regions of Greater China, including provinces, autonomous regions (Guangxi, Nei Mongol, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Xizang - Tibet), municipalities (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Tianjin), special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau), and Taiwan (all hereafter referred to as “regions”). Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,100 cities in Greater China. For each major city in question, the percent share the city is of the region and of Greater China is reported. Each major city is defined as an area of “economic population”, as opposed to the demographic population within a legal geographic boundary. For many cities, the economic population is much larger that the population within the city limits; this is especially true for the cities of the Western regions. For the coastal regions, cities which are close to other major cities or which represent, by themselves, a high percent of the regional population, actual city-level population is closer to the economic population (e.g. in Beijing). Based on this “economic” definition of population, comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city’s marketing and distribution value vis-à-vis others. This exercise is quite useful for persons setting up distribution centers or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each region and city of influence, latent demand estimates are created for menthol cigarettes. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

This study covers the latent demand outlook for filter-tip tobacco and non-tobacco cigarettes across the prefectures and cities of Japan. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,000 cities in Japan. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it’s prefecture and of Japan is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-à-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each prefecture and city, latent demand estimates are created for filter-tip tobacco and non-tobacco cigarettes. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.
