Gloor said Nebraska has come a long way in terms of clean air and better health with efforts to reduce smoking so far. In 2009, Nebraska went smoke free,marlboro red cigarettes, with no smoking in bars and restaurants. A year earlier, the city of Grand Island implemented a similar citywide nonsmoking ban.
“We can still do more,” he said. “My proposed increase to $1.99 tax per pack on cigarettes, with a similar increase on other tobacco products,wholesale marlboro cigarettes, will help us take the next step in reducing heart disease, lung disease and cancers caused by smoking and tobacco use.” Gloor said his background as the former president/chief executive officer of St. Francis Medical Center motivated him to introduce the legislation.
Under his leadership, he said, St. Francis became the second hospital in Nebraska to ban tobacco use on its grounds. “My whole career has been about health and keeping people healthy,” he said. Although the proportion of government revenues from the tobacco industry has been falling – from 11.5 per cent in 1995 to 7.5 per cent last year – Yang says the decline mainly stems from the growth of other industries.
The absolute production value of the industry rose from 100 billion yuan in 1978 to 513.1 billion yuan last year, and, she points out,cheap marlboro cigarettes with no tax,marlboro cigarettes wholesale, “The economic cost arising from tobacco use has long been underestimated.” Citing the report to be released in January 2011,cheap newport cigarettes, she argues the net contribution of tobacco to China’s economy is about minus 20 per cent.
That means the losses caused by smoking outweigh the taxes and profits it generates by about 20 per cent, says Yang. The calculation is backed by a study by the China Centre for Economic Research at Peking University,wholesale marlboro cigarettes online, Peking University’s People’s Hospital and the Department of Economics of Stockholm University in September 2008.
In 2005, tobacco caused direct medical costs of 166.6 billion yuan and indirect costs – in the forms of productivity loss, years of potential life lost, and loss from fires and pollution – of 120.5 billion yuan,marlboro cigarettes, resulting in a total loss of 287 billion yuan, 19.6 per cent more than the 240 billion yuan in taxes and profits the industry generated.
According to the National Tobacco Administration,marlboro cigarettes supplier, there were 43,500 tobacco farmers in 2009. At an average of five members per household, the number of tobacco farmers and their families would thus total 217,500. Since modern cigarette manufacturing is almost completely mechanized, we imagine that the few million claimed to be tobacco industry workers belong to the marketing, distribution, and retail sectors, and hence are not solely dependent on the industry for their livelihood. Where are the “millions” claimed by PATDA and PTGA?
