Ukraine calls on women to stop smoking

In Ukraine, the International Day of not smoking marked the beginning of the campaign, calling for women smokers to quit smoking. The campaign is called "smoke-free."

The campaign was launched with the support of the Ministry of Family, Youth and Sports. Its main actor was the Coalition of NGOs "For a smoke-free Ukraine."

The campaign kicked off at the press conference, which invited the public and public figures of Ukraine. His opinions expressed actors, sportsmen, representatives of show business. There were also Olympic champion swimmer Denis Silantyev, and Honored Artist of Ukraine Grigory Chapkis, and choreographer, and television's leading Vlad Yama. Came to the conference television presenter Andrey Domanski and People's Artist of Ukraine Yevhen Paperny.

Well-known and popular man approached with a request compatriot not smoke. Moreover, they were asked to help in getting rid of harmful habits of men.

At a press conference announced the results of a representative sociological survey, which was held in October 2009 by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology. His theme was the ratio of male to female smoking. The study confirmed: men Ukrainians belong to the female smoking negatively. And this attitude significantly affects the reduction in the number of smokers. If in June 2005, smoked 20% of women, in October 2009, this figure approached 13%. Apparently, women were the most sensitive audience, which responded to the changing attitudes towards smokers in society. Behind these changes are measures to free workplaces and public places smoke, increasing tobacco excise taxes and much more.

The press conference with concern expressed that the marketing efforts of tobacco producers in Ukraine are becoming more aggressive. Most marketing companies openly aimed at young women who have yet to motherhood.

Two-thirds of smokers from the world's total number of live in underdeveloped countries. Unfortunately, Ukraine, even in this neighborhood is one of the leaders. Medical statistics has sounded the alarm: smoking has become a real epidemic, which leads to serious loss of human life.

Representatives of the Ministry of Family, Youth and Sports said that their department maintains an active role in all matters that relate to tighten control over the sale of tobacco products. At present, for consideration at the Verkhovna Rada a bill on amending some laws of Ukraine ", which was developed by the Ministry. It expanded the list of those places continue to be prohibited to sell and consume cigarettes and other tobacco products. According to representatives of the Ministry, to really effectively address the issue could be when the government and society will come to a common understanding of problems and make decisions for her best efforts.

Press conference ended with a theatrical act, which took place on the square before the "Ukrainian House". The plot of The Dance of Death in Pink "is simple: the dancers in costumes of the death of pink clearly showed their dance: death already in Ukraine, though disguised in pink glamorous clothes. The purpose of a street protest was to draw public attention to the campaign.

What is the pitch of cigarettes?

Pitch in this case is not any concrete substance, and all that remains on the filter of the smoking car minus nicotine and water.
Pitch is a mix of hundreds substances with various toxicity and carcinogenicity which make a sticky deposit, отлагающийся in lungs of the smoker. The structure of pitch at different tobacco products can strongly differ and, hence, their harm for a human body can differ.
Among carcinogens present at a tobacco smoke allocate two classes of activators of malignant tumours: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (for example, бензопирен) and specific to tobacco (that is not containing in other natural substances) нитрозамины. Anywhere in the world there are no the rules demanding that the tobacco companies reduced or supervised concentration of these carcinogens in a tobacco smoke. For example, when in Poland have measured the maintenance of two carcinogens in cigarettes of different marks, it has appeared that their level in cigarettes of known international marks was in 3-4 times above, than in local cigarettes though the pitch maintenance in the international marks was less.
Therefore the concept of "pitch" approaches as a basis of regulation of tobacco products a little.

Response to the inflated earnings Lorillard

One of shares of the holding, which I have not beaten their earnings estimates, Lorillard (LO) do not perform well on Wall Street on Monday and had all the short-term traders exit all at one time. The report was not bad, and the reaction, analysts said it was way overblown. This is a short term event and for those of you who are in it, how long to play a stock dividend prospects will pay you $ 4 share dividend, or the most losses Monday in the next year.

As an investor Lorillard you lost money on paper only, and does not sell these securities only losses. Management Top Notch, and for those who want to see it with my own eyes here Monday conference call transcripts for everyone to read. (Thanks to Seeking Alpha for this service).

The company will earn $ 6.35 in free cash flow in 2010, so basically we earn $ .68 cents for every dollar invested in Lorillard total capital. This means that its free cash flow return on invested capital is 68%, which is basically three times more than I'm looking for as an analyst. With regard to its free cash flow return on equity (Tesla), he earns about 122% 2010 Tesla.

These amazing numbers and it amazes me that someone is selling the company, which performs well, that on the main street. Always remember that Wall Street's view of the plant and the main street, where the reality of life. Lemmings came out on Monday Lorillard, but if we are even half the results of Main Street, Lorillard actually put up, will still put up amazing numbers.
