Long have you been talking about price increases on cigarettes, but now it is done, there may be something.
the Danish people’s Party will go into tonight’s negotiations on the reform with a proposal to raise the price on cigarettes is eight dollars over the next four years.
the Party’s chairman, Kristian Thulesen Dahl, proposes a model with a price increase of two dollars per year, writes DR.
– If we raise taxes on cigarettes – even with a moderate increase – so will it actually mean that we can pick up between one and one and a half billion crowns extra from the smokers towards 2025. Them we can then use to enhance our health, he says to the media.
the Left also believe that the price of cigarettes should increase, but they have not yet announced any concrete numbers out.
Kristian Thulesen Dahl expects, however, that they will look favourably on the proposal, and on the way gives us reason to be more specific on the area.
best known Karsten Lauritzen(V) do not want prices to rise so much that it’s going to increase the Danish-German border area, because the danes simply want to run abroad to buy their cigarettes.
It is the Danish people’s Party agreed, and therefore must, according to Kristian Thulesen Dahl match the price carefully, so as to avoid the increased cross-border shopping.
the Money from the higher prices will the Danish people’s Party earmark for health care.
– We will have more money to build it close healthcare up, which of course also is part of the government’s health care reform. But we are nervous that the six billion dollars that the government has set the of the towards 2025, is to get money to drive to close health services in the future, says Kristian Thulesen Dahl to DR.
Why would the Danish people’s Party to fund an additional two billion dollars to the healthcare system through the increased cigaretpriser.
the Liberal Alliance is the only party that has rejected, that the prices of cigarettes should increase. Among the rest of the political parties in the Danish parliament, there is broad agreement about a price increase, but so far there is not yet any concrete figures on the.
