Overlapped presidential veto angered opponents of smoking

President of Ukraine vetoed legislation to raise the rates of excise duty on tobacco products.

Press conference held in Kiev, showed: active opponents of smoking are very dissatisfied with the fact that Viktor Yushchenko has vetoed legislation to raise the excise taxes on tobacco and tobacco products.

Chairman of the National Board of Health under the President of Ukraine Mykola Polishchuk very surprised by the decision of the President. Indeed, in 2007 the National Forum "Health of the Nation" is Yushchenko announced "Seven Nation improvement initiatives", the first of which is, in fact, anti-tobacco: it says about reducing the impact of tobacco on public health.

According to N. Polishchuk, the high price of cigarettes has a very significant impact on reducing the number of smokers. Over the past 4 years the country has significantly decreased the number of smokers, about a million people parted with the harmful habit. Increased excise tax on tobacco is a direct impact on reducing the number of smokers, and thus to reduce the incidence of which is associated with tobacco. Besides imposing a veto on the law opposes Ukraine and Europe, where there is a relentless struggle to reduce the number of smokers.

Project Co-ordinator "Molodizhna Guard" (the organization was created to analyze the pre-election promises of the President of Ukraine) Eugenia Maleeha reported that in 2007, Viktor Yushchenko in the election campaign for the OU-PSD reported that his party would actively strive for a healthy life for the citizens of Ukraine . Thus, the President actually broke all the promises that were given about the fight against child and adult smoking.

Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Budget Oleg Lyashko commented on 4 main points that the President outlined in the proposals on the veto of the law. According to O. Lyashko, increased smuggling of cigarettes, reducing the volume of Ukrainian tobacco production, reducing revenue from the tobacco industry and job cuts are completely baseless. The deputy chairman of the Committee BP reported that its information on the veto of this law has brought to the President about 5 million dollars, listed in the company involved in the conduct of the election campaign for the most Viktor Yushchenko.

Official figures from the State Customs Service and the Security Service have denied the existence of facts of import to Ukraine of contraband tobacco products. In this case Customs said that in 2009 was averted in 1700 attempted illegal export of cigarettes from Ukraine. These facts show transparently: the price of tobacco products in Ukraine are among the lowest.

Oleg Lyashko reported that the Ukrainian production of cigarettes in this year compared with last year decreased only by 11%, while the total figures for the industry achieve a 30% decline. The decline in production clearly shows: people are smoking less.

Especially criticized by O. Lyashko been motivated about reduction in revenue after the introduction of new high excise tax rates. In terms of Mejlis, the argument of the President can be considered a particularly cynical.

So for the first 10 months of 2008 state budget replenished with "tobacco" money for 2 billion 732 million hryvnia. And for the first 10 months of this year, "tobacco" revenue budget is $ 7 billion to 8 million hryvnia. Given that the new excise taxes on tobacco came into force only from May, the difference is even more impressive. Money to raise excise taxes, according to the MP, will be aimed at eliminating the consequences of floods in western Ukraine, on the content of Ukrainian embassies in other countries, the financing of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Express their opinions and former Deputy Minister of Economy Vladimir RYABOSHLYK, which now serves as an economic expert. Apparently, the service, which analyzed the situation and prepared for Viktor Yushchenko's decision to impose a veto, the President introduced misleading. It veto the law flatly inconsistent with the position of head of state in matters of European integration.

Most likely, the President finally sign the law, because the abundance of negative public reaction to the veto can not get his attention. Apparently, Viktor Yushchenko will understand the situation, and the law enters into force.

Cigarette TAX negotiations begin soon

House and Senate leaders to begin talks for long increase the size of a cigarette tax.

On Thursday, with no debate, the House voted to propose negotiations with the Senate on cigarettes. The house has a proposal to increase the tax by 82 cents to $ 1 per package. The Senate proposed a more modest 31-percent increase to 49 cents per pack.

Both the House and Senate leaders have said they believe it is urgent, they agreed to accelerate the increase in taxes to provide additional income for the patient state tax coffers.

"The sooner we do this, the sooner we began to receive income," said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Dean Kirby, R-Pearl. "It's so easy."

Legislature is looking for additional funds at the time that the general fund tax collections of $ 90 million below projections for the current fiscal year. And the collections of the tax seems to be worsening.

In January, tax revenues by more than 6 percent below estimates, and 3 percent below the amount received in January 2008.

Governor Haley Barbour had already made $ 200 million in budget cuts based on current tax collection and the amount estimated to be collected until the end of the fiscal year on June 30.

"If there were no federal money," Barbour said: "My $ 200 million in cuts, would not be enough."

Barbour and legislative leaders are counting on help from its budget from the federal stimulus package addressed Congress on the orders of President Barack Obama.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Bill McCoy, D-Rienzi, said that under current federal legislation, which is in its final form, the Mississippi can get 2.6 billion dollars over several years.

Whatever the final version, and the amounts the federal stimulus package and an increase in cigarette tax will be key components in the state budget.

But the budget leaders say they are not sure what to do with federal money.

"I really do not know if it will get during this budget cycle," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Johnny Stringer, D-Montrose. "I hope he does, but we must continue with the budget process, as we do not have it."

Even if the amount of federal funding can not be solved while the Legislative is planned to complete its budget work at the end of March, Stringer said lawmakers could take money earmarked for Medicaid and use it in other places.

The program remains a deficit, but it is usually believed that the federal package will include funds to help states with Medicaid.

The amount of the federal stimulus package is one part of the budget puzzle from the hands of state legislators. But another key part of the budget picture - the number of cigarettes - is entirely the Mississippi Legislature.

Both the House and Senate called for an increase in the cigarette tax, to be in place by March 1, that is, funds for the current fiscal year will be available.

The Senate wants to spend money for the current fiscal year to replenish the fund, which holds down the car's price tag. House wants to spend money for the current fiscal year to offset the decline in education.

But the state tax commission said that probably takes 30 days to accept a cigarette tax increases. This makes the March 1 decision is unlikely because the House-Senate negotiations, would probably not be until early next week.

And the Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Alan Nunnelee, R-Tupelo, said additional research to determine the impact of 61 cents per Pack increases the federal tax would have on government revenues. Obama signed the federal cigarette tax increase in the right environment.

Health advocates note that, as a tax on cigarettes, gets more, more and more people quit smoking. Due to the increase in federal tax, the amount received from the State tax is likely to be less than originally anticipated.

Smoking and alcohol - why we zombiruyut?

I think our society just does not understand
in what abyss it flies ...
Tobacco and alcohol are "eaten" before the foundation of society:
changed values, there is no bright incentive to live --
all in a sort of "fog" --
society in the smoke - the smoke of death ...
We can argue long about weapons of mass destruction - nuclear weapons, but it is - a "political club". Weapons of mass destruction, which is ruining our society (our generation and even unborn children) - is destroying people, is sold on every corner, aggressively marketed and actively disseminated.

Pivomarket on Automobile Plant, Nizhny Novgorod. Instead of all anadromous GAZ exhibited barriers from the point of sale of alcoholic beverages; through them, the people, the working class, returns home. In the days of salary payment in the streets of car factory, you can easily run into "drunk face"
We are drawn into a deadly race: we are pumping out of health and money, instead we get - the disease and early death, as well as cultural degradation, slow economic development, as well - we lose our priorities in life - do not know why we live ...
Why do you smoke and drink? Zombie century information warfare
Zombies among us!
And most of them already! ..
The person must live their lives, rather than the one imposed on him! ..
The term "zombie" is the best describes the social processes in our information society. People are susceptible, sensitive and in the mass are not able to think logically, to make objective conclusions.
We live in an "information smog", "breathe" to them, take from it what we offer ... And what we offer? ..
Conclusions for us (in the total mass) makes the "Information god", which says - whispers, where you have to put a tick in the ballot, that we should look at whom to listen to what to eat and drink ... how to live! This can be called advertising, you can - hypnosis, NLP ... as you wish. Here the result is important, the consequences of "information attack".
The result is there! .. Let us consider the so-called "harmful habits - smoking (tobacco) and drinking alcoholic beverages. Today in Russia, 60% of men smoke and 30% of women. 80% of that number of men and 50% of women started smoking in adolescence. Annual consumption of cigarettes in Russia today is from 375 to 4000 thousand million! The numbers are growing! Smokers die on average 15 years earlier than nonsmokers.
The official statistics says that from alcohol poisoning in Russia die each year 20-30 thousand people of working age. Official data forensic and read as follows: the average for recent years in the blood of 64% of deaths from accidents, suicides of men and 50% of women found alcohol.
For 2007, excessive alcohol consumption in Russia, died 89 thousand people. According to Rospotrebnadzor, the actual number of drinkers in significant quantities is nearing 5 million people (!), And alcoholism in Russia "younger". The horrific numbers could continue to enumerate, we can say that with regard to Russia have already introduced the term "gipersmertnost", we can recall horror stories Dulles ... Green snakes crawling on Russia ...

Almost all billboards inscription "Excessive consumption of beer harms your health" (and others like it) barely noticeable. But the law is respected ... Why let people know what they drink and smoke to life-threatening things? .. Let bought poison in pretty attractive package
All this is very sad ... Maybe watch TV - zombirovatel - our everything ... And there is advertising of beer, alcohol, and again this advertisement (at an amazing brilliance, scope ... alluring, high budget, advertising Gazprom rest) - all around beer ads! In the city of beer and just pours into your mouth with numerous billboards, banners and posters etc. etc. In the supermarket shelves just bursting with alcohol - beer, vodka, wine, brandy, whiskey, brandy ... - what you want - buy. People take alcohol intact packages and boxes. And then there comes to you pretty girl-promoter, and asked: "Do you smoke?" ...
Yes it is that - on the Internet, in the diaries (the blogosphere) actively advertise the famous beer factory from the banks of the Neva. And who is basically "tusuetsya" in the blogosphere - youth, children (!) - But you refreshing beer in new bottle - the grass. For such things in general, it must be planted. But in our country for such things are put in luxurious leather seats and allocate land to Rublovka.
Fact: in Russia has been gradually declining sales of vodka, but growing sale of beer, wine, brandy. The popularity of beer in March 2008 compared with last year increased by 7,7%.
Drinking low-alcohol beverages (beer) in large numbers has more to alcoholism than the consumption of vodka in a lesser proportion. Also with cigarettes: cigarette lighter - is a myth, a publicity stunt to buy more, spend more money and more smoke.
Promotion of alcohol and tobacco. Advocacy narcotic poisons!
... Well, why not sit down - to start smoking. Well, many of the same around the smoke - go smoke a zombie - and rejoice that awful cigarette smoke - the smoke of death - in your face, it is impossible to stand at bus stops - you non-smoking - passive smoker, your children - passive smokers. A beer (or something stronger) did almost all the drinking: walking the streets with bottles of zombies, drink and smoke with children ... used obscene language ... people do not understand (or have a zombie ?..), what they do ... people are running a program embedded in them , which is supported by advertising and covert propaganda.
"Super profits of American corporations paid a catastrophic impact on the health of the young generation of Russia ..."
"... But even this inhumane fee for someone else's wealth does not meet these gentlemen. They seek to establish Russia's medieval high levels of nicotine and tar in cigarettes, allowing for the level prescribed by law to dispose of Russia's people, the most shoddy tobacco ... "
Gennady Onishchenko, head of Rospotrebnadzor.
Everything was in order of things, utryaslos in the minds of millions. Well, let there someone stands accusations against those some of those and something. Well, yes, the health of our people make billions of dollars in the American tobacco industry, our breweries. Well, yes - the Russians are dying at an alarming rate - gipersmertnost, sverhsmertnost. But who cares? Government? President? .. All of it was already 15-odd years, so it is ... just more propaganda was alcohol and cigarettes - both hidden and overt propaganda. The Government is advantageous because it proceeds from the sale of cigarettes and alcohol - a poison - are the huge state apparatus.

"Buy cigarettes! And you'll be in perfect harmony ... "
Sales poison - a narcotic poison - the people - the state (it has a duty to control the sale of alcohol and tobacco products - established in law), which thus also controls the population: "keep on a leash." Alcohol and tobacco, the "happiness" of corrupt bureaucrats, and even tupyat brains, which can be easily to powder (this is the question of the correct check the ballot).
"Cigarettes and some other products containing tobacco are high-tech products developed in such a way as to create and maintain dependence ..."
WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control
(WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, WHO FCTC)
In civilized countries have long banned advertising of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes have long been forbidden to smoke and drink in public places, sales of the poison is strictly limited and under control. In England (considered variant), smokers may soon be in a situation where they have to buy a special license for the right to smoke.

Shelves with a beer in one of the hypermarkets Russia
Fact: one year after the ban on smoking in public places introduced in Scotland in the spring of 2006, admission to hospital of patients with heart attacks dropped by 17%: smokers decline of 14%, non-smokers - 20%.
Nicotine and alcohol genocidal extermination of the people of Russia
Nicotine and Alcohol - enemy number one! ..
The number of smokers in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union doubled: the consumption of cigarettes has increased from 201 billion pieces in 1985 to nearly 414 billion in 2006 and continues to grow. Reasons: access to Russia's market of large foreign tobacco companies (primarily American) that before the collapse of the Soviet Union was unreal, plus an active advertising campaign.
However, tobacco is the cause of death from lung cancer in 90% of all cases of emphysema and bronchitis - to 75%, from heart disease - approximately 25% of all cases. Fact: about 25% of regular smokers die prematurely (gipersmertnost)!
Let us not be surprised shameful figure for Russia - 58 years - the average life expectancy of the male population. Men aged 30-60 years die each year as many as in 1897, or even slightly more. The authorities show us screens "zombirovatelya" that they are concerned about the health of the population of Russia, even in his time the priority national project "Health" introduced. But almost all measures, there are "above" being taken - is a show for the checkboxes. At the root did not want to change anything. They are well aware that the most effective method - it is a struggle with the cause, but not with the investigation. And where is this fight? Yes, we have ratified the Convention tobacco control (WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control) - what next?
Prices of tobacco products in Russia today are among the lowest in the world (40% of cigarettes produced in Russia, is cheap and so accessible to children and adolescents), and even beer and vodka can be bought "for pennies." All this causes the affordability of cigarettes and alcohol for all groups in Russia.
Meanwhile, because of bureaucratic red tape associated with the introduction of the Uniform state automated accounting system of alcohol (EGAIS), in 2006 we could see empty shelves in alcoholic departments stores. Many of the corrupt media staged hysterics: "stockpile enough vodka to a maximum of a month ... what to do?" Meanwhile, the death rate among adult males during this time reduced by 137,000 people, in 2006 and 2007 were sold for about 10% less than hard liquor than in 2005, has improved demographic and economic situation in the country.
Anti-alcohol campaign:
"Dry Law", introduced in 1914 and repealed in 1925, acted "out of inertia" about 40 years. In 1915, labor productivity increased by 9-13%, while absenteeism fell by 27-43%.
May 16, 1985 the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued a decree "On strengthening the fight against drunkenness and alcoholism, popularly known as" semi-dry Act. The result of the project were: an increase in fertility and mortality. Productivity growth and the acceleration of GDP growth also coincided with the intensification of the fight (Thanks to Mikhail Gorbachev).

Man with a bottle of beer - a familiar sight ... "Man, that you have between your legs?" .. "
... Well, gentlemen, smokers and alcoholics - zombies - victims, if you're happy with the prospect of premature death, if you want the disease in their children, smoke, drink. You will be offered in a beautiful pack of poison and bottles. And on your diseases and your children (your fault!) Will do (and do) a lot of money drug manufacturers.
And if your up to the smoky and prospirtovannyh brain finally came - that is smoking, alcoholic drinks, that you simply use to profit from you - then drop the case, throw (!!!), and even then it's too late ... if not late ...
It is never too late ...

Date of "No Tobacco":
31 May - World No Tobacco Day (born World No Tobacco Day). Proclaimed in 1988 by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 42 World Health Assembly (resolution № WHA42.19).
Third Thursday of November - Day of quitting (amerik. Great American Smokeout). The day was established by the American Cancer Society (American Cancer Society) in 1977.
Think again on the following issues and facts:
Tobacco occupies approximately 0,3% of sown areas of the world .. and now the world's food crisis. In many countries people are dying of hunger.
Collectors of tobacco - are women and children in third world countries, it is the slaves of tobacco corporations.
On average, processing one kilogram of tobacco (tobacco drying) leaves from 4 to 13 kg of wood.
Now the world is producing about 1000 cigarettes per year per inhabitant of the planet.
According to experts of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2005 in Russia, the economic losses from non-epidemic diseases (workers die or lose their ability to work) amounted to more than $ 11 billion at current trends, warns WHO, already by 2015 the loss would amount to $ 66.4 billion .
Specialists of the World Bank (WB), building on the results of local research in the Russian cities, calculated that if Russia will reduce the level of alcohol to the European level, in 2025 Russia's GDP would be about 15%, or $ 850 billion higher than if all will remain.
In 1970 alcohol consumed in 1,5 times less than now, the death rate among men of working age was 1.5 times lower.

Tobacco

  • Tobacco is natural


    People say tobacco is natural because it comes from a plant. But inside a cigarette isn’t just tobacco. A lot of the filling is actually a tip of paper sprayed with tobacco pulp, nicotine and chemicals. These additives include ammonia to enhance nicotine’s brain effects. The paper is shredded to look like real tobacco, and then used to fill cigarettes.

  • Rollies have less chemicals


    Rollies (roll-you-own tobacco) contains many of the same chemicals as factory-made cigarette. Research suggests that roll-your-own tobacco is more harmful than manufactured cigarettes.

  • I can quit any time I want to


    Anyone who smokes is at risk of becoming addicted to nicotine. Nicotine stimulates the production of dopamine, which makes you feel happy and more animated when you start smoking. As you continue to smoke your body learns to depend on nicotine and you want to quit, you may fell hungry, sleepy, tired or irritable, In fact, only 7 percent of 35 million people succeed to quit smoking every year

  • Smoking Has Effect On Progression Of Multiple Sclerosis


    The study showed there is no association between cigarette smoking and the progression of MS. Due to the high number of smokers with MS, it had previously been suggested there was a correlation between the progressions of the disease related to smoking.

    Because the cause of MS as well as reasons for progression is generally unknown, there have been many genetic and environmental factors tested. Cigarette smoking is one more factor we can rule out.
