Local tobacco industry has developed for a hundred years since Taiwan under Japanese governed, it was once the main fiscal income source of the state. Coming after the facts of the formation of the global tobacco market, the affiliation to the World Trade Organization of Taiwan and the change of Taiwan Tobacco and Wine Monopoly Bureau to Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation, the statement of globalists which claims that the role of state declined becomes overwhelming. But according to this research, the tobacco industry in Taiwan actually has been nurtured by the state. From farmers growing tobacco leaf to consumers using the tobacco product, the state has the related norms and institutions to rule. Especially the period of Japanese government and the early retrocession of Taiwan, governments sought to pursue the fiscal income. For the reason of fiscal income, they controlled the whole tobacco industry from growing, harvest, marketing and consumption of tobacco. After the Sino-US agreement on tobacco and alcohol, the social anti-tobacco consciousness was awakened. The state also recognized the importance of the health of people. On the one hand, the state has to look after the rights of people who don't smoke, on the other, to consolidate the righteousness and the legitimacy of governing. In other words, the role of state doesn't decline for the part of tobacco industry in Taiwan, on the contrary, the state intervenes because of different goals. This thesis applies the theory of state-centered as the main research approach, to investigate the development of the tobacco industry in Taiwan, and compares the different focal points of interventions of the state. Otherwise, this thesis also emphasizes the interaction of the state, the domestic society and the international system, the interaction of the foregoing actos will shape the goals of the state.
