煙草在線據《煙業通訊》報道編譯　　據日本煙草公司11月16日公布的初步數字顯示，該公司今年10月的國內卷煙銷量為100億支，比2011年同期的96億支增加了4.2%，而2011年10月的國內卷煙銷量比2010年同期的增加了160.4%。

　　今年4至10月的7個月內的國內卷煙銷量為695億支，比2011年同期的605億支增加了15.0%，而2011年4至10月的7個月內的國內卷煙銷量比2010年同期下降了33.0%。

　　日本煙草公司在2012年4至10月的市場份額為59.5%，而截至到今年3月底的全年的市場份額為54.9%。

　　由于2010年10月1日史無前例的主要受稅收驅動的價格上漲，以及去年3月11日地震和海嘯后對日本煙草的生產和分銷業務造成的大規模破壞，日本煙草近年來銷量波動幅度很大。

　　日本煙草今年10月的國內卷煙收入為548億日元，比2011年同期的527億日元增加了4.1%，而2011年10月的國內卷煙收入比2010年同期的增加了157.4%。

　　今年4至10月的收入為3828億日元，比2011年同期的3321億日元增加了15.3%，2011年4至10月的收入比2010年同期的下跌了10.6%。

JT's Domestic Volumes Trending Upwards

　　Japan Tobacco Inc's domestic cigarette sales volume during October, at 10.0 billion, was up by 4.2 per cent on its October 2011 volume, 9.6 billion, which itself was increased by 160.4 per cent on that of October 2010, according to preliminary figures issued by the company today.

　　Volume during the seven months, April-October, at 69.5 billion, was up by 15.0 per cent on its April-October 2011 volume, 60.5 billion, which was down by 33.0 per cent on that of April-October 2010.

　　JT's market share for April-October 2012 was 59.5 per cent, against 54.9 per cent for the full year to the end of March.

　　JT's domestic cigarette revenue during October, at ￥54.8 billion, was up by 4.1 per cent on its October 2011 revenue, ￥52.7 billion, which was up by 157.4 per cent on that of October 2010.
