Cigarette

Today I was talking with a friend about Cigarette market, he seems realy keen on how Cigarette market is developing in Indonesia.  So after that discussion,  I think it will be good if I start compiling news and article about Cigarette in Indonesia.

Definition of Cigarrette

Cigarette (rokok) actually means “small cigar”, is a product consumed through smoking and manufactured out of cured and finely cut tobacco leaves and reconstituted tobacco, often combined with other additives,then rolled or stuffed into a paper-wrapped cylinder (generally less than 120 mm in length and 10 mm in diameter).

So in order to be called as cigarette: it has to be made from Tobacco (or reconstituted tobacco), consumed trough smoking and  paper wrapped. Hence if it is wrapped with tobacco leaves, eventhough having small dimension, we call it Cigar (cerutu) not Cigarette (rokok).
