In India, more than four million workers manufacture bidi cigarettes, also known as a poor man's smoke. These cigarettes are wrapped in tendu leaf and are sometimes flavoured with chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon to name a few.

Bloomberg Business visited some of the homes and small workshops where bidi-making took place for their photo essay "Bidis: The Hand-Rolled Cigarettes That Keep More Than Four Million Indians Employed".
