Worldwide Tobacco Tax Impositions When it comes to battling high cigarette prices, and huge tobacco tax impositions, the U.S. is not alone. It is a world-wide problem, and one that is being touted as a humanitarian effort to force smokers to quit. In spite of evidence that suggests that it is not true that higher prices will influence smokers quitting, what high cigarette taxes are, is a cash infusion for many government bodies. Consider the likelihood that higher taxes would help increase revenue if people really were quitting. Secondly, when you read the rhetoric regarding the benefits of the government cigarette taxes it is always worded in the future: it will help, it is expected to help, it should help. Even almost three years after the first serious tax hike on cigarettes in the U.S. that verbiage has not changed. Following the Leader Other countries may have a built-in distain for all things American, but they certainly seem to like the way Americans have learned to make money—at least how the American government does. Other countries, previously much lower in tobacco product prices than America have recently begun to enact their own tobacco tax laws, and are reaping the financial benefits that America has been building for the last decade. The world, and America herself needs to learn a lesson from past history in the United States. For when we don't learn from the past, it most certainly does repeat itself. Remember Prohibition Yes, it was alcohol, but it was the perceived evil of the day, and is still a problematic, potentially addictive and at times dangerous to others drug. When the government sought to outlaw it (cigarette taxes are proclaimed to be needed, not for money, but for public health to get them to quit when they wouldn't otherwise do it on their own), it gave rise to the biggest crime industry the world has ever known. Prior to Prohibition in the 1920s, organized crime barely existed, and the mafia were roughly a bunch of street thugs and numbers runners. Alcohol gave them purpose, and a multitude of consumers to sell to. Organized crime became the model that continues to thrive today. We are stumbling into a new era of politically induced prohibition "for our own good." Cost of International Cigarettes The pre-tax cost per pack of cigarettes internationally is usually cheaper than in the United States. Taxes, however are actually higher in some countries than they are, even here. According to the "Tobacco Atlas" created by the World Lung Association, and the American Cancer Society, taxes on cigarettes in Australia, Canada, Brazil and Argentina are actually double what they are in the U.S. Some European counties such as France, Finland, Norway and Spain have cigarette taxes that are nearly 79% of the cost of the cigarettes themselves. Only Russia and China have lower cigarette taxes than the U.S. by half. Libya, Iran and Angola have the lowest known taxes on cigarettes, and overall price per pack. Perhaps because those countries would be the least likely to do anything the Americans did first. Smuggling Takeover With cigarette prices getting out of control in many areas of the world, smuggling is becoming the crime du jour. Smugglers bring cigarettes from low costs, low tobacco tax areas and sell them in countries where costs are high. The Philippians have an enormous smuggling problem, it is a country where cigarette taxes are about 63% of the retail price, and income from cigarette taxes make up 20% of the government income, but is in the top 10-12% of cigarette consumption areas in the world. Enter the repeat of history in the making. Best Mail Order Cigarettes Websites
