Tobacco antiglobalism

Freak forms can take the argument of business, if he faces a loss of income. Russia's cigarette makers on Wednesday rose against the proposed Treasury rates of excise duty on tobacco products in 2010 - 2012, at the grounds that the new rates of benefit transnational corporations. Manufacturers estimate that cigarettes with the new year to rise by about 4 rubles. from the current 6 - 7 rub. for the stack. Rise in the price and non-filter cigarettes, occupying only 10% of Russia's market, but bearing a much higher share - from 25 to 90% - Revenue is Russian tobacco companies.
As The head of Pogarskij cigarette, cigar factory, Igor Moiseyev, the price increase will lead to the cigarettes disappear from the market. Not rich and, as a rule, an elderly purchasers of cigarettes without the filter does not matter that smoking, the main thing that was cheap. Moiseyev said that in the Bryansk region population is showing more interest in self-cultivation of tobacco raw material. And then another, and producers of fakes are activated. According to observations of the Director-General "Nevo Tabak Oleg Amiranova, Ukrainians have already started to buy in Russia, small lines for the clandestine manufacture of cigarettes without filter. And, most likely, their products will be designed for those who can not switch completely to tobacco.

Director-General Industrial Association Tabakprom Vadim Zhelnin not believe that Russia's producers so exaggerated - even 4 rubles. improve their customer is already painful. But if officials - which is unlikely - would agree not to raise excise taxes so much, transnational giants only say thank you and them, and Russia's lobbyists.

Church's attitude to smoking

There is no more common and most often justified habits (even in the Orthodox environment!) Than tobacco. The world is suffocating in cigarette smoke. Not only men but also women and children addicted to dope and caustic, like the insoluble ties, heavy chains and fetters, nailed his soul to the opaque tobacco smoke.

Do not worry, brothers and sisters, that is harmless and tolerant.
Tobacco - the great sin
In tobacco is, in addition to any argument, something directly unclean, and cigarette smoke defiles - in exactly the same as dirt, however, is not «just», but much deeper, more essential. Why? - Do not stir, even physiologically, this complex subject, but sensitive people can not help but feel that this is so. Tobacco - fucking incense, by definition, folk: «when fucking incense God something really remember», I heard from one farmer, who himself, incidentally, was smoking. That says it all: devil's grave, that is, something as impure as it is pure myrrh or other resins, in particular, how pure nard, that is cooked but not yet completely sanctified saint of the world.
One could say much about the effects of tobacco intoxication, cutting off from reality, like annealing roots of existence and the closing of pure subjectivity: not for nothing «Critique of Pure Reason» written, as you know, on cigars. Tobacco damages, as if an invisible отжигает's secret in our spirit, but most - of being a mystic connection, it disconnected, he makes a monad * (Monad - from urech. Monas - unit, the one, the notion of designating the various philosophies of the fundamental elements of existence), which has no windows or doors for communication with the external reality, he undermines the very roots, through which we eat from the depths of being. Externally, superficially there is nothing special in contrast to guilt, which operates more crudely physiologically, more superficial and therefore neblagoobrazno.
Typically at this very distinction of action of tobacco and wine on the intellect: while wine, at least in certain stages of their actions gives otyazhelenie intelligence and so humble, tobacco, on the contrary, the apparent way sharpens thinking, but this is achieved by an artificial simplification of tasks torn out of their difficulties in life, and exclusion of all real and irrational, reduced to the simplest schematic formulas. In the tobacco stupidly arrogant of their power the mind deals with problems instead of solving them. As one smoker: the ghosts, they also generated, and then confess to as ghosts.
On this subject could argue a lot. But now, it's important for us to simply say that there is a direct sense of this duhovnovredonosnogo of smoke from the people, especially when he was a church, and have devotees: «Which man will derzati this very demonic and the divine and holy hated abdication - of tobacco, then the person uskrutit brain and the brain, rather than fall into the head of its foul stink and ruined it all in his mind, and will tako stinking stinking prebyvati melting at its head, and not tochiyu led his uniform, but also in all his bones melting stinking stinking dwell instead drain. And ashche whether the cue of people who will twist tvoriti such devilish thing, per se bo a man not fit in the church of God vhoditi and krestitisya, and the Gospel and Communion tselovati not figure out, sveschi, or consecrated bread, or any offering, and with people he does not mytisya and not yasti, till be abolished from takovyya audacity ».
In government decrees against smoking that is look at tobacco as something mystical nasty finds a measure of consolidation of the legislature. For example, we read: «we have the grace of God, Emperor and Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. Ordinance. In a nationwide news to announce and punishable by Orthodox Christians on the damned tobacco. Yes you wake in the news. Determined that Archimandrite Gennady that Orthodox Christians have damned tobacco not only in the masculine gender, but also in the female, engage mortal sin. But Archimandrite Gennady Come unto me, the Emperor Alexei Mikhailovich, takozhde and everything sigklitu priesthood and the king with a petition and wish you iskoreniti damned tobacco and mortal sin. Taco announced in his petition. There are the Orthodox Christians who have damned tobacco in small sosudeh iderzha-School with him, and nyuhayusche nostrils and putting a lip in the mouth, defiles his mouth, and other vzemshe tube and nakladshe full of snuff, and vzemshe in his mouth and sucking in itself, emits a generous fire from his mouth, like a devil, emitted sparks from themselves. So Orthodox Christians doing takozhde and other written extensively in the petition Gennadievoy, as requested by the emperor damned tobacco, so there was no sin in the Orthodox hristianeh smertnago. And thus sdelasha and under the application. Sovereign Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich ordered the AOR to announce a nationwide news and damned tobacco, and the mortal sin, how people fall into mortal sin, and ordered his sigklitu suspected to have, where vzyasya, she cursed tobacco. And who drinks it, he led hvatati those in the yard and privoditn the king's chamber and the rule of the boyar pristaviti, another suspect in the realm of the city of Moscow, and which was secretly caught sight were: Jacob merchant Speman, torgovasha he damned tobacco, and even rule of the boyar Seeds Puschina servant Jacob Sidorov, Anton Pavlov yes Yegor master salesman. And they brought in onyya the royal chamber and directly in the interrogation revealed. They combined pokazasha that tobacco ONU brought Poles and those buying from them, and the clerk showed takozhde Yegor Barin, drinks in his nostrils, and Nadezhda "rule of the boyar Seeds Puschina servant showed that piyyutim for lip kladyasche, and for that they were all executed Christians : who drinks for the lip, so cut out both lips, and who drinks in the nose, cut out the nose and put them in the people of the news. A onogo merchant punishing on the body. And of those that acknowledge and beseech you, Christians, but not gone off the eternal blessings. Great Tsar Aleksei Mikhailovich and the entire priestly rank implores you to not be in you damned tobacco. King and the emperor Alexei Mikhailovich. Bishop Eustace presence a capacity-building Vologda, clergyman Semyon Yakovlev, 1650, April 2 days ».
Such a rigorous assessment of toxicity of tobacco by our ancestors. The latest views on tobacco, on its full compatibility with the shrine on his besoprivlekayuschuyu ability, by virtue of losing touch with reality and, consequently, as a result of spiritual loneliness, confirm the ancient judgments about it. In a conversation with a hermit had to speak again about the degree of credibility of a person who bore the greatest dignity of the Orthodox Church - the authority on the issue of high mysticism. Hermit, a staunch determination: «It is nothing to understand». - «But why not just« understands », namely« can not? »-« He smokes because », - was the answer. Next followed an explanation of the incompatibility of spiritual experience with tobacco smoking. There has numerous stories about the incompatibility of tobacco and shrines. There is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the historical foundations of these stories.
There are scents of clean and unclean odors. The first in the Christian life as a gift received from the life, used in prayer, the atmosphere, elevated to the level of consecration. There is a special rite of consecration «fragrant zeliya» with the sprinkling of holy water on him: «Thou art the All-Merciful Lord, and seeds And this, with different zeliyami prinesennyya into the holy temple, bless, and sanctify them with thy Holy Spirit, and thy servants now, which receive zeliya Ñèÿ with seeds from all impurity cleanse, and their houses vsyakago Incense executive, to be alone hedgehog symmetry all faith that keep me and kadyaschimsya them in practice and deliver us from all foes prilogov and the to-gnanie vsyakago dreams, from the action of the devil nahodyaschago, dnevnago and noschnago on blessing same souls and bodies, Thy faithful lyudem and cattle, house and the same place. Yako da TNI which receive Ñèÿ zeliya embraced a cover body and soul, and let it be our salvation medicine: The Sacrament of Thy grace, yes means no place to lay, or by means usability is, in the hedgehog received the blessing of the whole (the opposing force has driven out from there) Thy right hand so pokryet ... ».
Thus, the fragrant brew destined for domestic consumption, called «the sacrament of God's grace». And of aromas surrounding the body, there is a continuous shift to cover and then - to cover grace, guarding against evil effect, dark forces.
But when Orthodox Christians fill his house, the stench of tobacco and surround themselves with the stifling smoky haze, they not only lose their grace cover, and in conjunction with toxic smoke is introduced under the cover of your lyuteyshego demon.
Who does not cry, seeing how the Christian soul, designed to be the abode of God and the temple of the Holy Spirit, becomes a kind of devil and the damned fire-breathing dragon!
Who would not mourn about such insensitivity smokers who are able to combine the Holy Sacrament to harmful passion!

Marlboro Man

Marlboro man is an American cowboy and the main character of Marlboro country - the best cigarette advertisement of the century, world-famous cigarette advertisement character, masculine trademark and macho icon.

Marlboro cigarettes

The first half of the 20th century was the golden age of the cigarette. In 1950 around half of the population of industrialized countries smoked, in the United Kingdom up to 80 percent of adult men were regular smokers. Smoking was an acceptable form of social behavior in all areas of life—at work, in the home, in bars, and at the cinema—and advertisers were keen to show the full range of leisure activities made complete only through the addition of a cigarette. Smoking cigarettes was popular across all social classes and increasingly among women, once associations of smoking with deviant sexuality began to fade in the 1920s. Marlboro is a trademark of cigarette made by Philip Morris USA (a branch of Altria) within the US, and by Philip Morris global (now separate from Altria) outside the US. It is well-known for its billboard advertisements and magazine ads of the Marlboro Man.Philip Morris, a London-based cigarette manufacturer, created a New York subsidiary in 1902 to sell several of its cigarette brands, including Marlboro. By 1924 they were publicity Marlboro as a woman's cigarette based on the slogan "Mild As May".The brand was sold in this capability until World War II when the brand faltered and was temporarily removed from the market. At the end of the war, three brands emerged that would establish a firm holds on the cigarette market: Camel, Lucky Strike, and Chesterfield. These trademarks were supplied to US soldiers during the war, creating an instant market upon their return.During the 1950s Reader's Digest magazine published a series of articles that linked smoking with lung cancer. Phillip Morris, and the other cigarette companies took notice and each began to market filtered cigarettes. The new Marlboro with a filtered end was launched in 1955. In the early 1960s Philip Morris invented "Marlboro Country" and distilled their manly imagery into the rugged cowboys known as the "Marlboro Men."The brand is named after Great Marlborough Street, the location of its original London Factory. Richmond, Virginia is now the location of the largest Marlboro cigarette manufacturing plant. Mild Seven is the second most popular cigarette in the world, and with good reason. It has become more and more in demand. This is the premier brand of Japan Tobacco and is still Japan’s favorite smoke. Originally a variation on the then popular brand Seven Stars, Mild Seven was introduced in 1977 and has never looked back. It also has not suffered at all from current cigarette advertising restrictions. Mild Seven proudly sponsors Formula One racecars and has a successful billboard campaign which has been imitated by other, lesser known cigarette brands. Their packaging is a very elegant white spiral on a cool blue background. Often, they are packaged in an equally elegant blue stripeagainst an eye-catching white background. Mild Seven is made in Russia. Mild Seven comes in Original, Lights and Super Lights. Mild Sevens do not pack their tobacco as tightly as other brands, making that first puff easier on the throat and the entire cigarette a smooth, pleasurable experience. Mild Sevens satisfy without overpowering your body or emptying your wallet.
