Bidis are popular among poor Indians because they are significantly cheaper. A packet of 10 costs about 2 rupees (about 5 US cents; 0.03 euro) while the cheapest cigarettes cost 1 rupee (2 US cents; 0.01 euro) apiece.Activists dressed as cigarettes and ghosts stage a campaign marking the World No Tobacco Day in Seoul, South Korea, Thursday, May 31, 2012. <AP/Newsis>
