CONCLUSIONS
	In Latin America, the smoker or the youth that is thinking of beginning to smoke) it is in the center of a complex and changing lattice of economic forces. The big transnational corporations have settled down with success their domain of the market and they have created demand for their products. During the last years, the square economic general has presented a descent of the consumption. However, if the economic circumstances improve in the Latin America during the nineties, it is very possible that the increase of the consumption of cigarettes returns to their previous levels or even reach bigger levels for the year 2000, as some studies indicates. Conclusions: The tobacco has carried out during a lot of time an important paper, fundamentally like part of the magic and healing practices, in the cultural and spiritual life of the indigenous populations from the America. Its employment for a small group of initiate offers a marked contrast with the diffused adiction to the tobacco of the contemporary American societies. During the last part of the XIX century, the coalition of the main tobacco companies of the United States coincided with the appearance of the cigarette like the one derived of the most popular tobacco in the country. In Latin America and the Caribbean, and through a denationalization process and formation of branches, the industry of the tobacco has been dominated by some how many transnational corporations. The structure of the industry presents an enormous obstacle to the efforts to control the tabaquismo. After a quick growth of the consumption per cápita of tobacco in Latin America and the Caribbean during the years sixty and seventy, the great economic deterioration that took place during the eighties produced a descent of this consumption. In absence of measures in contrary sense, it is very probable that the economic recovery brings I get a resurgence of the consumption of tobacco.
