Традиционное английское производство табака - довольно дорогостоящий бизнес. Ограниченным в течение большей части двадцатого века «Законом о производстве Английских смесей», запрещающим использование вкусовых добавок и прочих ароматизаторов, ............

Только ты забываешь, что англичане двинули за восточными табаками именно для уменьшения затрат на табак. А уж этот пресловутый закон, который никто не видел и никто не читал, думаю, что готовых смесей и ароматизации совсем не касался.
Нашел этот "легендарный" закон, друзья.
Закон жесткий; интересно, что борясь за "чистоту" табака, Корона защищает доходы своей казны, прежде всего.
Также интересен перечень веществ, специально поименованных в законе, используемых при создании фальсификата.
Буду признателен, если у кого-нибудь найдется время сделать и выложить на форуме перевод. Достоин отдельной ветки, я думаю, и обсуждения.
