2 months later, on June 1 will come into force the federal law «On the protection of public health from exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and the effects of tobacco use.» Entrepreneurs believe: the stateturned away from small business.
The situation is contradictory. The fact that the law prescribed a number of delays on many key points, but in a number of regions, local authorities have already require compliance with the law, has not yet entered into force, in fact, six months before the official deadline. In addition, some media do not understand the situation, began to publish information that the law should be executed immediately after the signing. At whose mill poured into this case, «water» of fraudulent evidence is quite clear.
We recall the main provisions of the new law, which, in the opinion of entrepreneurs, aimed at destabilizing the situation in the small business.
Since June 1 2013 list of places selling tobacco products will be limited. In particular, you can not buy cigarettes at a distance of less than a hundred meters in a straight line without the artificial and natural barriers from the nearest point bordering the area for the provision of educational services.

According to a survey of the whole of Russia entrepreneurs, the most acute problem today businesses see low availability of qualified personnel (this issue marked the 47% of respondents). However, in the second place among the problems identified for the first time in a long time came out high taxes — which include employers and insurance fee, which amounts to 30% of profits. This problem as a priority call 36% of the respondents.
Note that of the stalls has already managed to «divide» the beer. But, as has reported. IA Primore24 buy low-alcohol «under the table» is not a problem, and at any time of day. It turns out that the measures did not have much effect. Perhaps, then, it is worth asking the question: Are the stated goals of the real?
President of the Coalition booth keepers Vladlen Maksimov advises entrepreneurs: learn your rights, read the law in the original sources, » In this situation, when the state has turned away from small business, creating more obstacles for small retail and preferences for the major market players, entrepreneurs from the people to take care of themselves and their business by «.
Throughout 2012 the Coalition booth keepers championed the rights of small retailers sell tobacco products on an equal footing with large retail. However, the small-scale sector voice is heard only in part. So, businesses need to prepare for major changes.
There is no doubt that cigarettes can be bought in the same way as one can buy alcohol — any time, any strength. So, in the big stores, so called «cafe» on the advertisement which stated in plain text: alcohol of store prices. Beer is now given «for free» — for a box of matches or a bag of penny snacks. Similarly, will sell and cigarettes — «gift» or some new, specially the «invention» means.
So what is the true meaning of this law? In whose interest is it accepted? Large retail chains? The price of cigarettes, and so growing nonstop: only the beginning of the year in the retail pack «grown» by 10%. Planned restrictions and prohibitions only finally unleash a major arms trading networks, increasing their already rather big profits. What is in this case will be «prize» of ordinary citizens, which supposedly cares state — absolutely incomprehensible.
