煙草在線據《羅馬尼亞觀察者》報道編譯　　每天吸煙或偶爾吸煙的羅馬尼亞人大約有485萬，平均每人每個月用于卷煙的費用為273羅馬尼亞列伊（合62歐元），相當于每個月羅馬尼亞人花費約3億歐元吸煙。羅馬尼亞衛生部發布的最近一項調查發現，在15歲及15歲以上的羅馬尼亞人中，有26%的人吸煙——這比2003年時有了進步，當時的吸煙率為35.5%。另外的650萬羅馬尼亞人則遭受被動吸煙之苦——要么在家里，要么在公共場所，因為羅馬尼亞的公共場所還沒有禁止吸煙。

　　最頻繁購買的卷煙品牌為建牌——占33.8%，其次是萬寶路，為9.7%，緊接著為Winchester、Viceroy和云絲頓。

　　現有的480萬羅馬尼亞煙民中，稍低于一半的人計劃要戒煙，但在未來的12個月內不會戒煙。據報道，有三分之一的人對戒煙沒有興趣。

　　15歲以上的羅馬尼亞成年人中，有四分之一每天都吸煙，而僅有2.4%的人偶爾吸煙。目前仍然吸煙的人平均每天吸煙16.6支。

　　大多數吸煙者在17至19歲開始吸煙，占43%，而有17%的人在15歲之前就開始吸煙了，這些人中，大多來自邊遠地區。

　　最令人擔憂的是，有三分之二每天都吸煙的人在睡醒后的最初30分鐘內吸第一支煙，而有四分之一的人在起床后僅5分鐘就開始吸第一支煙。

　　目前的吸煙者中，大約有40%的人在過去12個月里嘗試過戒煙。

　　大多數，即80.8%設法戒了煙的人說，他們沒有接受咨詢服務就戒了煙，但有8.2%的人使用了尼古丁替代療法，1.4%的人使用了處方藥，1.7%的人又重新考慮要接受咨詢服務。

　　與此同時，據Novel報道說，煙草制造商報告羅馬尼亞的卷煙走私率出現了下降，在2012年的第一個月，羅馬尼亞的卷煙走私減少了13%。

　　羅馬尼亞卷煙市場由三家國際煙草公司代表——即英美煙草公司、菲莫煙草公司和日本煙草國際公司。在2011年，這三家煙草公司以消費稅和增值稅的形式向國家預算貢獻了大約27.5億歐元。

Fewer Romanian smokers turn to ash EUR 300 mln worth of cigarettes a month

　　Almost 4.85 million Romanians smoke on either a daily basis or occasionally, spending an average of RON 273 (or EUR 62) every month on cigarettes, translating as some EUR 300 million spent every month on cigarettes. Among Romanians aged 15 or over, 26 percent are smokers – an improvement on 2003, when the rate was 35.3 percent, found a recent survey issued by the Romanian Health Ministry. Another 6.5 million Romanians are suffering from passive smoking – at home, or in public places, where smoking is not yet banned.

　　The most frequently bought cigarette brands are Kent – with 33.8 percent, Marlboro – 9.7 percent, followed by Winchester, Viceroy and Winston.

　　A little under half of the existing 4.8 million Romanian smokers plan to quit one day, but not in the coming 12 months. One third were reported to lack interest in quitting smoking.

　　A quarter of Romanian adults over 15 smoke daily, while only 2.4 percent are occasional smokers. Current smokers have 16.6 cigarettes a day, on average.

　　The bulk of smokers started to smoke between 17 and 19 – 43 percent. 17 percent started to smoke before 15, most of them coming from rural areas.

　　Most worrying, two thirds of daily smokers have their first cigarette in the first 30 minutes after waking up, and a quarter of these, only 5 minutes after getting out of bed.

　　Around 40 percent of current smokers made an attempt to quit in the past 12 months.

　　Most of those who managed to quit smoking said they have done so without counseling – 80.8 percent, while 8.2 percent used a nicotine replacement therapy, 1.4 percent used prescribed drugs and 1.7 percent reverted to counseling.

　　Meanwhile, tobacco producers reported a drop in the rate of cigarette smuggling in Romania, which went down 13 percent in the first month of 2012, according to Novel.

　　The Romanian cigarette market is represented by the three international companies – British American Tobacco, Philip Morris, and JTI, which in 2011, contributed some EUR 2.75 billion to the general consolidated budget in excise and VAT.
