it’s only been two weeks since the entry into force in Poland tobacco Directive, which in the framework consistent, in particular, the desire of Warsaw compromise, due to the withdrawal of menthol cigarettes, left on the market mucous. All, however, indicates that these latter may be illegal. Yes I would like who. The organization also seeks to reduce the amount of 0.4 mg of nicotine in one cigarette. Currently, they contain up to 1 g of substance.
according to the tobacco industry and manufacturers in Poland it will increase the grey area. According to the company Almares its market share reached in 2015 or 18.2%. when in 2013. it was 14 percent. – We can assume that smokers will be looking for a stronger cigarettes on the black market, to achieve the same effect as before. In particular, in the “gray” zone for a product with a high content of nicotine will pay almost half that of the weaker cigarettes with bands, ” explains a representative of one of tobacco corporations. This, in turn, generates a health risk for consumers. The grey zone is not controlled, it is not known, therefore, what is in cigarettes. The effect can be reversed from based who.
Innate ideas, who also showed the tobacco industry. – Elimination slimów, which make up approx. 20%. the market will not lead to the fact that the Poles cease their Smoking. Consumers will be awarded not from an illegal source. A similar scenario can be expected in case of weaker cigarettes – says przemysław Noworyta, President of the Polish Union of Tobacco Producers. They will lose Polish manufacturers because the development of the shadow economy means a smaller sale on the legitimate market, and therefore – reduction of demand for cultivated in the country tobacco.
moreover, according to the Institute of Economics of Agriculture and Food, it follows that the acreage is reduced in connection with the development of the shadow economy. In 2015. it amounted to 13.4 thousand ha, 8 percent. less than a year earlier. For farmers this is a problem because the soils are difficult to live separated from other raw materials. This is especially true of Lublin, where part of the land is suitable almost exclusively for growing Virginia tobacco. According to the farmers, even more disturbing is the idea of reducing the amount of nicotine. In particular, that in Europe no one of tobacco is not grown. – This means genetic modification, to meet the new requirements. The problem is that in Europe they are banned – proves Noworyta.
the President of the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers Alexey Kaźmierczak convinced that the government should fix new proposals. On Monday in Brussels will talk about them representatives of the EU countries. We are not only one of the major tobacco producers and exporters of cigarettes. The restrictions will harm, first of all, Poland – proves Kaźmierczak. In 2015. the value of tobacco exports reached 2.2 billion euros. We are the third largest exporter in the EU after Germany and the Netherlands.
With the industry does not agree Dr. Luke Balwicki from the Medical University of gdańsk. – The who is developing guidelines, using scientific knowledge. From the studies it follows that cigarettes slim through your appearance mask a real threat. People who are switching from conventional cigarettes to slim, tighten stronger and thus more inhalują carcinogenic tars – proof. Supporters of the restrictions also draws attention to the increasing effect in the fight against the shadow economy. In 2015. discovered 632 million contraband cigarettes, which is 16 percent. more than in the previous year. Also cancelled nine underground factories of cigarettes compared to four in 2014. Access to the illegal market is not so free.
