To examine what the tobacco industry in Ireland says to government on tobacco price, and what it does.
The annual government budgetary and tobacco trade, tax/price increases on cigarettes (2000-2010) and pre-budget submissions from the tobacco industry were analysed.
Price increased from €4.77 in 2000 to €8.55 at the end of 2010, 64.0% of the increase was government imposed and 36.0% was imposed by the tobacco trade. The tobacco industry consistently urged government not to increase taxes as this would increase smuggling and contraband tobacco products. However, the tobacco industry increased price every year.
There is significant disparity in what the tobacco industry says to government and how it behaves with respect to tobacco price. It is important that tobacco control advocates have access to such data and underscores the importance of strong guidelines for Article 5.3 of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
研究爱尔兰烟草业向政府提出的关于烟草价格的看法，以及其实际作为。
对每年的政府预算和烟草贸易、香烟的税费/价格上涨（2000-2010 年）以及烟草业在预算前提交的内容进行分析。
价格从 2000 年的 4.77 欧元上涨到 2010 年底的 8.55 欧元，其中 64.0%的涨幅是由政府决定的，36.0%是由烟草行业决定的。烟草业一直敦促政府不要提高税收，因为这会增加走私和假冒烟草产品。然而，烟草业每年都在提高价格。
烟草业向政府提出的看法与它在烟草价格方面的行为存在显著差异。重要的是，控烟倡导者能够获得此类数据，这凸显了《烟草控制框架公约》第 5.3 条强有力准则的重要性。
