Perhaps they want a lot of their people to die at an early age as that is what it does.
Haha, no, no. I don't think our Chinese government wants us to die an early age. I just share the idea the cigarettes to be more expensive, because I saw this idea on a Chinese TV channel, there the TV woman said that in many Western countries the prices of the cigarettes are higher, but in China still cheap. Here the politics is not to kill people, but only to prevent the over-population with some birth policy, it means not killing the already born people, but to limit Chinese family to born millions of new babies. This policy helped China to avoid the hunger and to get a better development. Also, as I know, our population is getting older (the average age) and we need more young people, that's why I can't imagine at all that someone will wish us to die.
