XX市将再次增加烟税
记者从市烟草专卖局获悉,从2006年1月1日起,XX市将再次增加烟税。
按照文件指示,本市将分别对国产卷烟增加30%,进口卷烟增加50%的商业税,这是自2000年来本市第二次对卷烟产品进行加税。
据统计,本市大约有40万吸烟人群,在我国城市吸烟人群平均比例中相对较高,对此自1995年起,市政府做出了一系列决策。首先在宣传上提出“关心下一代” “维护自身健康”等口号,同时加强青少年禁烟教育。但这只是避免了青少年吸烟比例的增加,并没有明显的减少社会吸烟人群的比例。
2002年一月,我市首次对烟草销售加税40%,据统计,吸烟人群相对去年减少9%,不少市民此项决策非常支持,认为有利于本市人民健康。
另外,市政府自2000年规定,烟草销售只能在专卖点进行,私人严禁贩卖香烟。
