Rumors about the rise in price of cigarettes subject to increasingly

Residents of Donetsk region are preparing to increase the price of cigarettes by buying their entire blocks. The journalists decided to check the veracity of such rumors.

By region spread information that the price of cigarettes has risen to 20 UAH. However, among those surveyed have never met anyone like the value of tobacco products in stores.

Typically, the cause of the rise in prices is the increase in excise tax rates on cigarettes. During the 2009 excise tax was increased by more than 5 times. Recent rises by almost a third took place in May. Representatives of manufacturing companies claim that information about price increases in October - no more than rumors.

According to Artem Skorikova, trade representative of the tobacco companies, distributors in these rumors do not believe, and information on the raised prices for cigarettes in supermarkets is false.

In the near future tobacco companies do not plan to increase the cost of production. However, in this case everything depends on government decisions. Cabinet has already sent to the Verkhovna Rada of the next bill to increase the excise tax on tobacco products. If accepted, the price of cigarettes will rise by 20-30 per cent.

Elena Pischenko, Communications Manager of the tobacco company, confirmed that the prospects of higher prices depend on the decision of the Cabinet. Today, prices remain unchanged. A small increase is observed only in the segment of cheap cigarettes. Thus, the price of cigarettes "Cossack" and "Prima" increased by 0.25 UAH.

Tobacco Company Plans to Cut U.S. Work Force

Reynolds American and tobacco unit, RJ Reynolds, said Tuesday that they would cut about 570 jobs, or 10 percent of their U.S. workforce.

The company expects the job cuts to save $ 100 million by the end of 2010 and $ 55 million per year thereafter. Employees will begin losing their jobs in the third quarter, but some reductions will take place before the end of 2009.

A day earlier, a great rival of Reynolds, Altria Group, which owns Philip Morris USA, said it would buy UST, the creator of Skoal and Copenhagen smokeless tobacco products, for $ 10.4 billion.

Goldman Sachs analyst Judy Hong said the restructuring was a natural move for Reynolds, as the tobacco industry finds ways to cope with falling sales of cigarettes. Americans are buying 3 to 4 percent less cigarettes a year, and the industry turned to alternatives like chewing tobacco, snuff, cigars and snus (a tobacco pouch meant to be held under the upper lip) for future growth. Sales of smokeless tobacco are growing about 5 to 6 percent per year.

Reynolds' plans are designed to focus on core businesses and redirect resources to areas of economic growth. Among the changes: The company scaling back marketing and promotional support for its Kool menthol cigarettes, despite the increase in spending on Camel menthol products. Pall Mall will remain one of the growth of companies and brands.

The company said jobs will be eliminated from both Reynolds American and RJ Reynolds in the company's headquarters in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, but some jobs lost at the parent company will be filled by employees of the branch.

All positions are under review except for those in the field of sales and marketing outside of headquarters and production in Winston-Salem.

The company said on Tuesday it hoped to record a $ 90 million before deducting the cost of restructuring in the third quarter of 2008.

Reynolds American shares fell 50 cents to $ 51.07.

Swedish pensioner without a passport refused to sell cigarettes

64-year-old resident of the city of Gallivare in northern Sweden, Karl-Erik Borg, vowed that his leg will never foot the local supermarket, because he would have refused to sell a stack «Marlborough» without identity cards, which he forgot at home, which could confirm his age. 

According to the pensioner, «if the cashiers can not distinguish a member of the six UN battalions of 18-year-old, why then did they distinguish between banknotes worth 50 and 500 kroner?». 

Curious fact: Borg friend bought the same cigarettes completely unhindered.

«So I'm not insulted yet never in a life », - approves retiree. 

However, the blessing in disguise is not. «This incident is brought me up that I'm going to quit smoking», - said Borg.

Cigarettes and Smokers

They are many myths and misconceptions about cigarette smoking that people start to spread. The more you here it, the more you start to believe it. Some myths stem from a misapplied understanding of what might seem to be common sense; others are deliberately promulgated by the tobacco industry to induce people to start smoking. Some of d this conceptions are crazy and do not make sense. Here are some misconceptions about smoking.


* Nicotine is responsible for adverse health effects


Nicotine is a natural occurring substance derived from the tobacco plant.
The main adverse effect of nicotine in tobacco products is addiction, which sustain tobacco use. It is the other chemicals in cigarettes, not nicotine, which are responsible for most of the adverse health effects related to smoking.

* Filtered or low-tar cigarettes make smoking safer


There are no safe cigarettes. Some people try to make smoking habit safer by smoking filtered or low-tar cigarettes. They think that make smoking safer, but this isn’t true. There are no safe cigarettes and no safe level of consumption. Low-tar cigarettes are just as harmful as higher tar cigarettes.
Smokers usually puff more frequently, take deeper puffs or smoke to a shorter butt length. Despite the filters, nicotine and other chemicals still get through when you smoke.

* Lights cigarettes are healthier


The smokers who use lights cigarettes are under the impression that they are safe. But there is no such thing as safe cigarettes. Research shows that lights cigarette is just as addictive as cigarette whit more tar and nicotine. The poisonous element of a cigarette is in the light cigarettes as well.

Tobacco industry

The specifics on Christensen's proposal are not yet clear, but it is clear that the tobacco industry plans to fight it. Tobacco Company lobbyists are already fighting against the regulation, said Christensen. She said the only company in favor of the menthol ban is Phillip Morris. But Lorillard, the cigarettes company that produces Newport cigarettes, is mounting what the Times called a "counteroffensive," sending out an email message to customers recently urging them to call their Congressional representatives.
"Urgent! Urgent!...Congress wants to make it illegal to smoke Newport and other menthol cigarettes. Call your member of Congress now and tell them to oppose any amendment to ban menthol cigarettes," the email said. Newport is the number one selling menthol cigarette in the U.S.
Located in Greensboro, North Carolina, Lorillard is the nation's oldest and third largest tobacco company. It was started in 1760 by Pierre Lorillard and now manufactures a wide range of brands, including Kent, True, Old Gold, Maverick, Satin and Max.
Television ads from decades ago depict menthol cigarettes as harmless additives that enhanced the flavor of cigarettes. "Newport is smoother," according to the jingle of one popular television commercial (shown below), "than any other menthol cigarette." All the people depicted in the ads are, of course, white.
But as times changed, Newport's demographics seem to have changed too, and now African Americans are among the biggest consumers of the menthol cigarettes sold by the company that produces Newport. Blacks have also been the target of the industry's advertising efforts, as seen by the two print ads in this article.
Perhaps as a result of the marketing efforts, Newport cigarettes have become popular in the black community. Just walk down 125th Street in Harlem or some other black inner city neighborhoods, and you might hear a familiar refrain: "Newport, Newport!" That's the call of unlicensed cigarette dealers selling the cigarettes by the pack. With the cost of Newport at $8 in New York City, sometimes the cigarettes are even sold individually as "looses" on the black market.
The combination of high cigarette prices and high demand has also fueled the black market. In Kansas City over the weekend, a robber broke into a convenience store and stole thousands of dollars of cigarettes, mostly Marlboros and Newport. In another incident a few weeks ago, a robber broke into a store and stole Newport and Kool cigarettes. And in Florida last month, a gas station was robbed and a thief again stole Newport cigarettes.
The debate over menthol cigarettes, like the debate over malt liquor -- a beer with high alcohol content -- has been going on for years. Both are popular in the African American community, and many health advocates are concerned about the racial health disparities that may be caused by the use of these controversial products.
