The notorious industry: comparing foreign vs. local tobacco brands on the Arab street
One of the most prolific industries currently operating in the Middle East and North Africa is big tobacco.

Here is a look at some of the national Middle Eastern manufacturers, their role in the local markets they operate in and their outlook in the near term.
