The worry, says Burke Fishburn of the World Health Organisation (WHO), is that Asia will follow the Western trend, with more women taking up smoking as men quit.

世界卫生组织官员布尔克•菲施布恩说，亚洲将步欧洲之后尘，抽烟的女人会越来越多，而男人会越来越少。

But, says Mr Fishburn, a bigger worry is the ambitious plan by China's huge state tobacco monopoly to become a big exporter of cut-price smokes to the rest of the region.

但布尔克•菲施布恩说，中国国有烟草垄断企业立志成为廉价烟草出口大户，将烟草出口到本地区的其它国家，这才是更加令人担心的。
