  烟草在线据《纽约商业杂志》报道编译  据代表着近万名当地烟草零售商的“挽救我们的商店联合会”说,最近几个月中,力争把合法购买卷烟的最低年龄从18岁提高到21岁的行动,使得整个纽约市的2500名零售商感到非常愤怒。

  纽约市还在考虑为每包卷烟设定10.5美元的最低“基础价格”,这个基础价格将普遍适用于所有卷烟品牌。烟草产品优惠劵可能也会被宣布为非法。

  根据“挽救我们的商店联合会”开展的一项研究,纽约市卷烟总零售利润将下降29%——从5200万美元下降至3700万美元。该组织还说,如果酒庄和商店被迫牺牲来自年轻顾客的收入的话,将会有近1万个就业遭遇危险。该组织还预测,通过卷烟销售获得的州税收将减少1900万美元。

  如果纽约市长彭博的提议获得书面通过,商店业主可能不能允许18岁以下的员工出售烟草产品。

  据一份新闻稿说,“挽救我们的商店联合会”于6月24日星期一,在布朗克斯东163街781号的帕梅拉熟食杂货店举行一次记者招待会。出席这次记者招待会的有美国酒庄协会主席雷蒙·墨菲、纽约便民店协会主席吉姆·卡尔文及商店业主Fernando Rhadamez Rodriguez。

US: Shop Owners Smoking over Potential Tobacco Regulations

  The movement to boost the cigarette purchase age in recent months from 18 to 21 has lit up 2,500 retailers across NYC according to the Save Our Stores Coalition which represents nearly 10,000 local tobacco retailers.

  The city is also considering a "price floor" of $10.50 minimum per pack of cigarettes that would apply universally to all brands. Coupons for tobacco products may also be outlawed.

  According to a study which was conducted by the SOSC, NYC is on track to see a 29 percent drop in total cigarette retail profits---from $52 million to $37 million. The group also claims that nearly 10,000 jobs are being put in jeopardy if bodegas and shops are forced to sacrifice the revenue from their younger clientele. The group also predicts a $19 million dollar drop in state tax revenue from cigarette sales.

  If Mayor Bloomberg's proposal passes as written, storeowners may also be unable to allow employees that are under the age of 18 to sell tobacco products.

  According to a release, the SOSC is planning a press conference which will take place on Monday, June 24 at Pamela Deli Grocery, 781 E. 163rd Street in the Bronx. The demonstration will feature appearances by Ramon Murphy, president of The Bodega Association of the US, Jim Calvin, president of the NY Association of Convenience stores and the store's owner, Fernando Rhadamez Rodriguez.
