Why tobacco consumption in China has declined

Personally, I think there are several main reasons.

1 The ** of tobacco taxation leads to finished cigarettes**** For example, the price of cigarettes that used to be smoked for 15 yuan has increased You may choose the cigarettes that used to be 13 yuan and the price has increased to 15 yuan, which directly leads to a decline in the sales of some mid-range cigarettes, and consumption will also decline.

2 The global trend of anti-smoking tobacco companies has slowed down the launch of new products, and some curious consumers are less likely to choose, which will also lead to a decline in consumption.

3 The improvement of national health awareness Awareness of the dangers and the increase in the price Some people will choose to quit smoking.

In short, there are many reasons that cannot be generalized, and there are many reasons that need to be explored, thank you.

Due to the control of tobacco consumption, especially the introduction of a series of anti-smoking measures and the implementation of more stringent tax measures on tobacco companies, the cost of tobacco has risen, and profit margins have declined.

In the past, a pack of more than two Fujian brand cigarettes was particularly mellow and better than the current red soft seven, which suddenly disappeared in 2005, so that smokers were disappointed, at that time, because of the purchase of this Fujian brand cigarettes (yellow box), I have seen a lot of uncles, uncles, brothers, guys, and all of my age have quit smoking, before Fujian brand cigarettes I had a pack a day, then a pack a day and a half, and then there was no production, and then I changed to smoke agarwood for a while, and finally even agarwood also bye-bye, so I quit seven or eight years and did not smoke, It's also very good, it's good to quit early, it's not easy to make some money, and it's harmful to health, I hope all smokers will quit smoking, it's really not good, I used to cough up a lot of phlegm every morning, and now I don't cough.

It is because people now pay attention to the quality of life and health.

More and more people are aware of the health effects of smoking.

The reasons for the state monopoly on tobacco sales are as follows:

1. It is conducive to increasing fiscal revenue.

2. Maintain the order of the orange field next to the city and the rights and interests of consumers.

3. Achieve the purpose of tobacco control by raising the tax rate.

Legal basis: Tobacco Monopoly Law of the People's Republic of China

Article 1 This Law is enacted for the purpose of exercising the management of the tobacco monopoly, organizing the production and operation of tobacco monopoly products in a planned manner, improving the quality of tobacco products, safeguarding the interests of consumers, and ensuring state revenue.

Article 2 The term "tobacco monopoly products" as used in this Law refers to cigarettes, cigars, shredded tobacco, re-cured tobacco leaves, tobacco leaves, cigarette papers, filter rods, tobacco tows, and tobacco-specific machinery. Cigarettes, cigars, shredded tobacco, and re-cured tobacco are collectively referred to as tobacco products.

Article 3 The State shall exercise monopoly management over the production, sale, import and export of tobacco monopoly products in accordance with the law, and shall implement a tobacco monopoly license system.

Article 4 The administrative department in charge of tobacco monopoly shall be in charge of the national tobacco monopoly work. The tobacco monopoly administrative departments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government are in charge of the tobacco monopoly work in the areas under the jurisdiction of the transport group, and are subject to the dual leadership of the tobacco monopoly administrative departments and the people of the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and the leadership of the tobacco monopoly administrative departments is the mainstay.

Article 7 The term "tobacco" in this law refers to the flue-cured tobacco and the name of the dried tobacco required for the production of tobacco products, and the list of the name of the dried tobacco shall be prescribed by the administrative department of tobacco monopoly. Other dried tobacco that is not included in the list of famous dried tobacco can be found in the bazaar**market**.

The long-term problems faced by China's tobacco industry include a high degree of monopoly, market saturation, and international competitive pressure. The tobacco industry is actually a political and economic industry, because the state has a great voice and interests in tobacco manufacturing, sales, and taxation, so it is difficult to carry out market competition and institutional reform.

In addition, the world is increasing awareness of the dangers of tobacco, including measures such as restricting smoking places, raising taxes, and restricting advertising, which are also affecting China's tobacco industry.

In recent years, China's tobacco industry has also been actively exploring new business areas, such as e-cigarettes and health products, in order to adapt to market changes and achieve sustainable development in the future.

Such a lucrative industry returns to its roots! So, what other industry is not losing money?

Monopoly industries under the administrative control of the state, such as the tobacco and power industry, the financial industry, the aviation industry, the real estate industry, the expressway, the subway and high-speed rail, and the medical industry are monopolized by the state and cannot be operated by private individuals.

The tobacco industry is a sandwich industry and a major source of tax revenue in China. China's tobacco industry is navigating a path between increasingly stringent tobacco control policies and the mission of protecting national revenues.

All the regular tobacco produced in China can only be sold to the Tobacco Bureau, and all merchants can only purchase from the Tobacco Bureau, which is the state monopoly!

There is a unit in the state called the Tobacco Bureau, and if a store wants to sell cigarettes, it must obtain a tobacco sales license.

The state is in charge, and there is a unit called the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration.

The goods in the store are supplied by the state.

Calling tobacco prices to rise all day long to trap smokers, on the one hand, they want taxes, and on the other hand, they want tobacco prices to rise, and make a lot of tobacco money to harm the people.

First, it is conducive to increasing fiscal revenue.

In 1981, before the implementation of monopoly, the tobacco industry realized a tax profit of only 7.5 billion yuan, and by 2013, the tax profit reached 816 billion yuan, an increase of nearly 109 times in 32 years. The relatively high growth of tax profits is mainly due to China's economic and social development and the improvement of consumption levels, but it is also inseparable from the advantages and positive role of the monopoly system.

Dependent on tobacco tax revenues as well as profits from tobacco monopolies. According to Euromonitor, China's tobacco sales revenue will continue to grow, from one trillion yuan in 2013 to nearly one trillion yuan in 2015.

Second, it is necessary to safeguard market order and the rights and interests of consumers.

The particularity of tobacco products determines that tobacco monopoly must be legislated. Tobacco and its products are not necessities for people's survival, and people's needs for it are selective. It is a highly tax-based product.

It has a single purpose and has no other use than smoking. It is harmful to human health. There are currently about 300 million smokers in our country, accounting for a quarter of the total population.

Some localities, units and individuals produce or operate national tobacco monopoly products at will; Over-planned production, production exceeds sales, and the phenomenon of macro loss of control is more serious; Illegal production and sale of cigarettes, counterfeit brand cigarettes, and smuggled cigarettes are rampant in some areas. All these have seriously disrupted the order of the market economy and directly harmed the interests of the state and consumers. In order to strengthen the management of tobacco monopoly, crack down on illegal activities, and protect legitimate operations, it is necessary to legislate on tobacco monopoly.

Third, by raising the tax rate, the goal of tobacco control will be achieved.

In May 2009, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation jointly issued the Notice on Adjusting the Consumption Tax Policy on Tobacco Products, adjusting the ad valorem tax rate for Class A cigarettes from the original 45% to 56%. The ad valorem tax rate for Class B cigarettes has been adjusted from the original 30% to 36%, and an ad valorem tax has been added to the wholesale of cigarettes, with a tax rate of 5% of the wholesale price.

Foreign experience shows that raising tobacco taxes, on the one hand, can increase fiscal revenue and enrich the national treasury; On the other hand, cigarettes can be made ****, so that smokers can reduce related consumption, so as to achieve the purpose of tobacco control. The results have been proven in many countries, and the World Health Organization has also recognized it as the most recommended initiative.

Everyone knows that cigarettes are high taxes, high demand, good operation, good production, profiteering industry, a few cents cost, hundreds of times more profitable. Once it is not controlled, it is conceivable that everyone will go to smoke. Who else is going to do anything else, and no one is doing real estate.

All together, the economic system will be chaotic.

The benefits of monopoly are higher control, more taxes from the state, and the common people can take less because of the high level, which is good for health and good things for the country and the people

Breaking the monopoly, ** will soon fall, and it may increase a lot of hardcore smokers The common practice abroad is to levy high taxes on tobacco.

I just hope that the huge profits from the monopoly can be used by the people.

Money, money, money!

In addition, the monopoly of private enterprises is called monopoly, and the monopoly of the state is not called monopoly.

Legal drugs. Super profiteering industry. Monopoly, of course.

How to say it, the sensitive word is that the state controls this. Because the country's tobacco tax revenue is the largest. China has the largest number of smokers in the world. This is a recognized problem. In fact, there are many things that the state controls. It's for the economy to be more stable.

The most profitable industry, increase taxes.

The state is advocating smoking cessation, a good thing.

The scary point of tobacco is chronic drugs!

From Indonesia, which ranks second, to the United States, which ranks fifth, the combined consumption of these four countries is not as good as that of China.
