Russia stood helpless on the way

Posted By Russian Opinion. Under WORLD  Tags: alcohol, health  

With his vision of the situation – Maxim Kononenko on the radio "Vesti FM." Health Ministry has decided to combat smoking and prepared the bill. Officials say Russia has obligations under the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which we joined three years ago. But then to whom Russia has the obligation to create bad laws, officials are not recognized. So, apart from a significant increase in excise taxes on tobacco and banning cigarette advertising, the new bill provides for the following senseless and ruthless measures: a ban on the display of cigarettes in the windows, the ban on smoking in trains and on ships, in cafes, nightclubs, hotels, and the elimination of special seats for Smoking at airports, a de facto ban on smoking in prisons and detention facilities, a ban on tobacco trade in small shops, a ban hookahs in the cafes and restaurants, banning tobacco to smell and chew it in public places. Tobacco companies would be forbidden to engage in charity, but movie heroes smoke will not be in the frame. Of course, in enlightened Europe and America, of innovation already in place many of these idiotic restrictions. But why should we be like them – is unclear. In our country, and without such laws a lot of humor. Well, "protection from tobacco smoke" for the prisoners – it is certainly the most important measure, without which sat in the overcrowded cells where tuberculosis and guards, animals, very, very bad. Sergei Magnitsky probably would not have died if he had defended from tobacco smoke. But being here, I wonder, snuff? A chewing? How to smell and chewing tobacco hinder others? I do not understand. Why tobacco companies can not engage in charity, if their advertising is prohibited? That wants a tobacco company, for example, to list a million dollars for the treatment of sick children, but can not. Better an honest death than life, bought for criminal tobacco money. But most importantly – completely incomprehensible main point. Why do I need to introduce such a huge range of draconian restrictions, instead of just up and ban tobacco use at all? Hemp is considered to have a drug and its trafficking is prohibited. Equate tobacco to cannabis, and the issue will be resolved by a single decision. Once and for all. Why not? And because the tobacco companies pay more taxes. And because the excise tax on tobacco will replenish the budget. So we are limitations, of course, introduce, but from a chicken that lays golden eggs, we will not give up. Let the smoke, let the grass. The main thing is not to our eyes. The main thing that we do not seem to notice. It is a pity that Russia, too, stands to this hypocritical First, helpless way.
