Cigarettes are so harmful, why doesn t the state ban their production?

1. Because there is market demand. If the country does not produce and sell cigarettes, the people will buy them from abroad, and the capital will flow abroad, promoting the economic development of foreign countries.

2. Because the production and sale of cigarettes can drive employment and provide a large part of jobs. Therefore, the state does not prohibit the production of cigarettes.

If the disadvantages of smoking clearly outweigh the benefits, why is the country reluctant to promote anti-smoking campaigns?

The first is the issue of taxation. Taxation is the main source of state revenue, and it is also an important lever for the state to regulate and control the economy. What do you think is the business that pays the most taxes to the state? Is it PetroChina or a bank?

According to the 2019 China Tax Ranking, the total industrial and commercial tax profit of the tobacco industry in 2019 was 1,205.6 billion yuan, and the total amount of financial payments was 1,177 billion yuan, and the average daily tax payment was 1.6 billion more than the last nine combined. If the country does implement a comprehensive anti-smoking campaign, it will have an incalculable impact on the country's economy.

Top 10 taxpayers in 2019.

As the saying goes: pull a hair and move the whole body. Once the country starts to completely ban smoking, the world will have hundreds of millions of unemployed people, a large number of companies will stop production, and many social problems will swarm in.

The unemployment rate affects the stability of society.

Summary. China is a superpower with a population of 1.4 billion, and it is not easy to manage and develop such a country, and our people must not only have enough to eat, dress warmly, but also live a happy and healthy life.

Hello friends, cigarettes are so harmful, I have to rely on my own control, if the state does not produce cigarettes, there may be smuggled cigarettes, and there are also research, taxes are relatively high, so the state has no way to prohibit production.

Smoking is bad for health, and that's pretty much the consensus that has been reached by all mankind, and it's known that there are about 1.1 billion smokers in the world, and more than 6 million people die every year from smoking, and what's even more terrifying is that more than 6 non-smokers die every year from second-hand smoke, so terrible cigarettes, why don't countries ban the production of cigarettes?

Legal analysis: the state does not prohibit the production of cigarettes. Cigarettes are a large part of China's financial revenue, and they have to rely on the taxes of tobacco companies from the first to the local government.

Tobacco is similar to the eldest son of the republic, and is now the first taxpayer, with tobacco tax revenues of more than 1 trillion yuan in 2016, higher than the entire defense spending, and its profits and taxes paid more than the combined profits of nine industries such as electricity, telecommunications, and coal. Tobacco tax is the largest taxpayer in China and has created tens of millions of jobs, and if tobacco is banned, it will inevitably deal a major blow to the economy, tobacco farmers and other employees.
