With the current majority, it seems, that a doubling of cigaretpriserne quickly goes up in smoke.
At the weekend laid the Danish Regions up to double the price of cigarettes, so they go from 40 to 80 dollars, but several of the civil parties turn now to the brake in, but they are ready to look at a price increase.
the Danish people’s Party is so willing to let the price rise from 40 pounds to between 46 and 48 dollars:
– We would like to have, that we follow the pay – and prisfremskrivningen, says Liselott Blixt., sundhedsordfører, DF, to Ritzau.
the Left has not settled on a price on cigarettes yet, says the party’s sundhedsordfører Jane Heitmann also to the news agency Ritzau:
– I think it is a good suggestion to raise the price of cigarettes. It is we in the Left-completely agree.
– Cigarettes should be as expensive as possible, and we get pushed on the Danish-German border area, and without that we potentially see more illegal cigarettes on the Danish market, she says.
Before the party put itself on a price, it requires, among other things, that it is being discussed in the Liberal party folketingsgruppe.
There sits 17 members of the Danish Regions ‘ board of directors, of which 13 of them representing the Social democrats, the Left and the Danish people’s Party. At Christiansborg is the political parties, however, are not willing to go quite so far.
However, the SF, The Radical and The Conservatives ready to let the price rise to 60 dollars, writes the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, which at the same time tells us that the Alternative support for the 80 dollars.
