It can not be denied that tobacco harms human health. In recent years, the state is taking steps to reduce consumption through measures such as increased taxes. Against the rise in cigarette prices, the "non-smoking tobacco sector" is developing on the one hand. However, the production of non-smoking tobacco, like the same cigarette, is subject to taxation and refusal. The narghile is also considered a non-smoking tobacco product. By the way, producers have said that high taxes have restricted "export-oriented production" for years.
Gökhan Ersöz, President of the Association of Non-Tobacco Producers; as the official market share declines, that it is an invitation to illegal products, this time with the producer, the state also begins to write tax losses. "By limiting our tobacco production, we have unfortunately not restricted our tobacco consumption.This is all about health care and conscience … On the other hand, we have to talk about it. other things in the commercial sense.For example, in recent years, countries such as Greece, Italy and Macedonia have entered into agreements with producers of tobacco products guaranteeing a five year purchase guarantee. Similar agreements must be concluded in our country, which can be supported by the tax, so that we can increase the number of 56,000 producer families in 2015 to 405,000 in 2002. As a result, we can create about 1 million In 2017, we exported 51 thousand tons and realized 352 million dollars.If this project is alive, we can get at least 105 thousand tons of sales and 770 million dollars a year.Thank you to our worker 100% Turkish and our pro tobacco duit with seeds, we will also use a current ointment. With the new tobacco policy that our state will create, the numbers can reach $ 1 billion. As a result, hundreds of thousands of families have the opportunity to migrate back. At least 63 provinces that have stopped producing tobacco are starting to plant again. Otherwise, the cigarette sector will also receive tobacco from foreign countries. This will reduce our tobacco exports each year. "
