Absolutely, yet smokers not smoking is **really ** bad for the stress level.

I'm thinking more in lines of whether this is war profiteering, worker exploitation, or a genuine needed help from the good old tobacco giant.

Personally I would think they could get their products produced elsewhere if they needed, so I am wondering what a producer of luxury products gain from establishing anything in a war zone. Do they even grow tobacco in Ukraine?
