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.
