煙草在線據(jù)AzerNews報(bào)道編譯　　對(duì)不斷上漲的卷煙價(jià)格惱火不已的阿塞拜疆煙民們應(yīng)該把漲價(jià)歸咎于國(guó)際市場(chǎng)上的原材料成本上漲。

　　歐洲煙草巴庫(kù)股份公司經(jīng)理Anar Hatamov對(duì)趨勢(shì)新聞社說(shuō)，原材料成本增長(zhǎng)了，體現(xiàn)在卷煙零售價(jià)格上。

　　在巴庫(kù)的幾家煙店內(nèi)，每包卷煙的價(jià)格上漲了0.1至0.2馬納特（阿塞拜疆貨幣單位）。

　　價(jià)格上漲的卷煙有“總督”、“威獅”、“LD”、“云斯頓”的各個(gè)產(chǎn)品系列，以及一些其他流行卷煙品牌。

　　他說(shuō)，在阿塞拜疆，每包卷煙的平均價(jià)格仍然比世界上的卷煙平均價(jià)格低10%。

　　世界煙草價(jià)格對(duì)卷煙零售價(jià)格的影響，受制于這樣一個(gè)事實(shí)，即：阿塞拜疆市場(chǎng)上的產(chǎn)品中，超過(guò)一半從國(guó)外進(jìn)口。高達(dá)50%的煙草產(chǎn)品需求是由國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)來(lái)滿足的。

　　阿塞拜疆市場(chǎng)對(duì)煙草產(chǎn)品的總需求估計(jì)每年為100億支卷煙。

　　Hatamov說(shuō)，卷煙零售價(jià)格的上漲，將會(huì)限制青年人和未成年人對(duì)煙草的使用。

　　卷煙零售價(jià)格上漲在早些時(shí)候被視為一個(gè)減少吸煙者數(shù)量的措施。

　　阿塞拜疆國(guó)會(huì)議員Musa Guliyev在早些時(shí)候說(shuō)，同樣也作為旨在減少吸煙者人數(shù)的措施之一的提高煙草產(chǎn)品消費(fèi)稅這一問(wèn)題，可能會(huì)在議會(huì)上進(jìn)行討論。

　　遺憾的是，阿塞拜疆的吸煙者人數(shù)很多。根據(jù)世界衛(wèi)生組織有關(guān)阿塞拜疆的報(bào)告，阿塞拜疆在各國(guó)吸煙率排名中排在第85位，在人均使用卷煙數(shù)量方面，則排在第22位。此外，阿塞拜疆13至14歲的學(xué)生中的吸煙者人數(shù)也日益增長(zhǎng)，這一點(diǎn)讓人非常失望。

　　據(jù)研究顯示，45%的阿塞拜疆男性吸煙。此外，女性吸煙者的比例也出現(xiàn)增長(zhǎng)，從6、7年前的3%增加到目前的10%。

Cigarette Prices Rise in Azerbaijan due to Expensive Raw Material

　　Smokers fuming about the rising cost of cigarettes in Azerbaijan should blame higher cost of raw materials on the world markets.

　　European Tobacco Baku joint-stock company manager Anar Hatamov told Trend news agency that the cost of raw materials increased and this is reflected in the retail cigarette price.

　　Cigarette prices increased by 0.10-0.20 manats per pack in several Baku shops.

　　The price increase was observed on "Viceroy", "West", "LD", in all types of "Winston" and other popular cigarette brands.

　　He said the average cost of a pack of cigarettes in Azerbaijan is still less by 10 percent than in the world.

　　The influence of world tobacco prices for the retail cigarette price is stipulated by the fact that more than half of the products on the Azerbaijani market are imported from abroad. Up to 50 percent of demand for tobacco products is met by domestic production.

　　The total demand of the Azerbaijani market in tobacco products is estimated at 10 billion cigarettes per year.

　　Hatamov said increase in retail cigarette prices will restrict their use by young people and minors.

　　Price increase in retail cigarette prices was earlier viewed as a measure for reducing number of smokers.

　　MP Musa Guliyev earlier said the issue of increasing the excise tax on tobacco products, which is also one of the steps aimed at reducing the number of smokers, may be discussed at the Parliament.

　　Unfortunately, the number of smokers in Azerbaijan is also high. According to the WHO representation in the country, Azerbaijan ranks 85th among the smoking countries and is 22nd for the number of cigarettes per capita. Moreover, it is very disappointing that the number of smoking people among the schoolchildren aged 13-14 is increasing year-on-year in the country.

　　According to researches, 45 percent of men in Azerbaijan smoke. Moreover, the number of women-smokers has increased -- from 3 percent six to seven years ago to the current 10 percent. Enditem
