Business An article in the Wall Street Journal on March 17, 2012 spoke of the increase in production of pipe tobacco as stores and consumers found that pipe tobacco is often not subject to the same taxes as cigarette tobacco. The graph below shows the production of pipe tobacco (in millions of pounds) and of roll-your-own tobacco (in millions of pounds). (Data from: Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.) (See Examples.)

In what year did both roll-your-own tobacco and pipe tobacco have approximately the same level of production? How much was produced for each?
