The basic data of the 18 domestic tobacco enterprises come from the China Tobacco Statistical Yearbook and the Tobacco Energy Statistical Report, while the data on the four multinational tobacco companies come from the companies’ annual financial reports, sustainability reports, and climate change reports on the carbon disclosure project (CDP). In addition, in order to eliminate the impact of exchange rate and inflation factors, the data in this article is uniformly converted to the 2010 constant price in millions of dollars according to the Purchasing Power Evaluation (PPP) Index published by the World Bank (Inklaar and Timmer, 2008).
