ABSTRACT
Japan Tobacco (JT) is the third largest tobacco company in the world, and China, the world’s largest tobacco
consumer, is one of the most important targets for JT. To provide information for tobacco control, we reviewed
and analyzed JT and its tactics and strategies in the Chinese market mainly by systematic examination of
documents which are made available in the University of California, San Francisco Legacy Tobacco Documents
Library. As a result, JT has had a special interest to expand sales of its cigarettes in the Chinese market.
