烟草在线据《烟业通讯》报道编译　　据日本烟草公司在8月10日公布的初步数据显示，该公司2012年7月的国内卷烟销量为102亿支，比2011年同期的125亿支下降了18.5%，而2011年7月的国内卷烟销量则比2010年同期的下降了3.0%。

　　2012年4月至7月的四个月中，日本烟草的国内卷烟销量为395亿支，比2011年同期的309亿支增加了28%，而2011年4月至7月的国内卷烟销量则比2010年同期的下降了36.8%。

　　日本烟草在2012年4月至7月的市场份额为59.4%，而截至到2012年3月底的全年的市场份额则为54.9%。

　　日本烟草的国内卷烟销量在近期大幅波动，这是因为在2010年10月1日主要因烟税推动而使卷烟价格史无前例的上涨，以及去年3月11日日本地震和海啸后对公司的生产和分销业务造成了大规模的中断所造成的。

　　日本烟草2012年7月的国内卷烟收入为559亿日元，比2011年同期的689亿日元下降了18.8%，而2011年7月的国内卷烟收入则比2010年同期的增长了32.4%。

　　2012年4月至7月的国内卷烟收入为2177亿日元，比2011年同期的1690亿日元增长了28.8%，而2011年4月至7月的国内卷烟收入则比2010年同期的下降了14.6%。

JT's Volume Down in July

　　Japan Tobacco Inc's domestic cigarette sales volume during July, at 10.2 billion, was down by 18.5 per cent on its July 2011 volume, 12.5 billion, which itself was down by 3.0 per cent on that of July 2010, according to preliminary figures issued by the company today.

　　Volume during the four months, April-July, at 39.5 billion, was up by 28.0 per cent on its April-July 2011 volume, 30.9 billion, which itself was down by 36.8 per cent on that of April-July 2010.

　　JT's market share for April-July 2012 was 59.4 per cent, against 54.9 per cent for the full year to the end of March.

　　JT has suffered some huge volume swings in recent times because of an unprecedented, mainly tax-driven price hike on October 1, 2010, and the massive disruption caused to the company's manufacturing and distribution operations following the earthquake and tsunami of March 11 last year.

　　JT's domestic cigarette revenue during July, at ￥55.9 billion, was down by 18.8 per cent on its July 2011 revenue, ￥68.9 billion, which itself was up by 32.4 per cent on that of July 2010.

　　Revenue during April-July, at ￥217.7 billion, was up by 28.8 per cent on its revenue during April-July 2011, ￥169.0 billion, which itself was down by 14.6 per cent on that of April-July 2010. Enditem
