Japan Tobacco has plenty to puff about. The company controls more than 70% of the cigarette market in a country where about half of the male population smokes. Japan Tobacco is the world's #3 tobacco firm, trailing Altria and British American Tobacco. The company's JT International unit makes and markets Camel, Salem, and Winston brands outside the US. Japan Tobacco also operates in the foods, pharmaceuticals, agribusiness, engineering, and real estate industries. A state-owned monopoly until 1985, the Japanese Finance Ministry now owns about half of the company. Japan Tobacco bought Britain's Gallaher Group for some $15 billion in April 2007. In mid-2009 it agreed to acquire UK-based Tribac Leaf Limited.
