One of those facts is mind boggling. Specifically, there are 86,400 seconds in a day. At 50,000 cigarettes per second, that's 4,320,000,000 per day, or divided by 20 per pack, is 216,000,000 packs per day. Multiply by 365 and that's 78,840,000,000 deathstick packs per year. Assume the Chinese population is 1,331,460,000 in 2009. About 16% of the total population smokes a pack a day. Remove kids and that's now closer to 25% of the adult population. With a smoking rate like that, who says China will be overpopulated forever?
