Imposed by the president of the veto has revolted fighters with smoking

The president of Ukraine ветировал the law on increase of rates of the duty on tobacco products.

The Press conference spent in Kiev, has shown: active opponents of smoking are very dissatisfied with that Victor Yushchenko has put a veto for the law on increase of excises on tobacco and tobacco products.

The chairman of National board concerning public health services at the President of Ukraine of Nikolay POLISCHUK is very surprised by the decision of the President. After all in 2007 the Vseukrainsky forum «nation Health» Yushchenko has announced «Seven initiatives of improvement of the nation», first of which and is, actually, antitobacco: in it influence of tobacco on health of citizens is told about reduction.

According to N.Polishchuka, the high price of cigarettes has rather considerable influence on decrease in quantity of smokers. For the past 4 years in the country have considerably decreased quantity of smokers, about one million person have said goodbye to a bad habit. Excise increase on tobacco directly influences on reduction of number of smokers, so and reduction of disease which connect with tobacco. Besides imposing of the veto on the law opposes Ukraine and Europe where there is a steady struggle for decrease in quantity of smokers.

The co-ordinator of projects «Molod_zhna варта» (this organisation is created for the analysis of performance of pre-election pledges of the President of Ukraine) Evgenie Malih has informed that in 2007 Victor Yushchenko in pre-election campaign for WELL-NANOSECOND informed that its party will actively struggle for a healthy way of life for citizens of Ukraine. Thus, the President has actually broken all promises which were given concerning struggle against children's and adult smoking.

The vice-president of Committee of the Supreme Rada concerning the budget Oleg Ljashko has commented on 4 basic of point which the President has stated in offers apropos ветирования the law. According to O.Ljashko, the increase in contraband of cigarettes, reduction of volumes of the Ukrainian tobacco manufactures, reduction of receipts in the budget from tobacco branch and reduction of workplaces are absolutely groundless. The vice-president of Committee VR has informed that under its information ветирование the given law has brought to the President about 5 million dollars which are listed in the companies involved in carrying out of election campaign for Victor Yushchenko.

Official data from the State customs service and СБУ denies presence of the facts of import to Ukraine illicit tobacco products. Thus the customs says that in 2009 1700 attempts of illegal export of cigarettes from Ukraine have been prevented. The given facts it is transparent show: the prices for tobacco products in Ukraine one of the lowest.

Oleg Ljashko has informed that the Ukrainian manufacture of cigarettes this year in comparison with last year was reduced only to 11 % whereas the general indicators on the industry reach recession in 30 %. Manufacture falling accurately shows: people began to smoke less.

From outside O.Ljashko has undergone to the special criticism motivation about reduction of receipts in the budget after introduction of new high excise rates. From the point of view of deputy ВР, it is possible to consider this argument of the President especially cynical.

So for the first 10 months 2008 the state budget has replenished with "tobacco" money for 2 billion 732 million grivnas. And for the first 10 months of this year "the tobacco" profit of the budget makes 7 billion 8 million grivnas. If to consider that new excises on tobacco were included into validity only since May, the difference especially impresses. Money for excise increase, according to the member of parliament, will be directed on liquidation of consequences of flooding in the Western Ukraine, on the maintenance of embassies of Ukraine in other countries, on financing of the Minister of Defence of Ukraine.

Has expressed the opinion and the former deputy minister of economy Vladimir РЯБОШЛЫК which represents itself as now the economic expert. Most likely, services which analyzed a situation and prepared the decision on veto imposing for Victor Yushchenko, have misled the President. After all ветирование the law categorically it is not compatible to a position of the head of the state in questions of the European integration.

Most likely, the President as a result will sign the law as the abundance of public negative reactions on ветирование should draw its attention. Most likely, Victor Yushchenko will understand a situation, and the law will come into force.

In February 2000, Philip Morris started to produce Marlboro cigarettes in their factory Philip Morris Izhora in St. Petersburg, Russia. Until that date, from 1977 to 1986, cigarettes were manufacturing under license in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Baku, Sukhumi, Kishinev.

Adventures on their own harm

Philip Morris started 3 Marlboro advertising campaigns. In 1997-1999 Adventurers held a special team. It was created by a German company Adventure Tour in 1984. Russia was the last country where 20 Philip Morris decided to include in this campaign. Any adult with a driver's license and passport can send sponsors Participation in this promotion.

Cigarette Advertisements and Women

Since World War II (1939-45), the cigarette companies have been trying to get women to smoke. Through ads, smoking has been pictured as going along with independence, careers, sexual freedom, as well as beauty. Since the 1970's, Virginia Slims ads have said, "You've come a long way, baby." Ultra Slims, the long thin cigarettes, were made for women. In ads of these types of cigarettes, the women look very thin to give the idea that smoking will not make a person fat. Cigarette ads appear in most women's magazines, such as Glamour, Redbook, Working Women, Cosmopolitan, People, and Vogue.
Cigarettes are heavily advertised in African-American magazines too. Ebony, Jet, and Essence magazines have ads showing beautiful and handsome Black men and women smoking. Outdoor billboards have been another way for tobacco companies to reach African-Americans. The number of outdoor billboards advertising cigarettes is four times higher in Black communities than in White communities. Cigarette companies target mentholated cigarettes to Blacks. Newports, Kools, and Salems are very popular brands among African-Americans. Because mentholated cigarettes can be inhaled deeper into the lungs, they are more dangerous than non-mentholated ones.
Whether they were made for teens, women, or African-Americans, all cigarette ads have the same message: smoking is fun, healthy, and attractive. Ads show men who look masculine or manly, hip, cool, adventurous, mature, and strong. Women look sexy, stylish, beautiful, glamorous, relaxed, secure, and independent. Many ads show athletic people who are wind surfers, aerobic dancers, motor cycle racers, horseback riders, roller bladers, and basketball players.
Cigarette ads give the impression that smokers are "Alive with pleasure" and that smoking is good for you. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. The U.S. government has labelled cigarettes as a dangerous drug that causes lung cancer, heart disease, and many other serious illnesses and conditions. Many people all over the country are talking about whether tobacco companies should be allowed to advertise cigarettes or even to make cigarettes.
