Sometimes a cigar it simply cigar - if only behind products and medicines of administration and the congress committee I think, it can be a cigarette.
The cigar (or cigarettes) in a question is called kretek. Kreteks cigarettes that a tobacco and carnation mix. Billions smoked in Indonesia, wreathing this country in шипованных aroma of oranges. Several weeks ago, though, cigarette carnations have been forbidden in the USA on the ground that their aroma represents receipts from children.
It was the first certificate FDA under the law giving to it of powers of police tobacco. But as soon as carnations a cigarette the decree left, California kretek the importer have brought a new line of a carnation of a cigar.
Djarum marks of cigars the form and the size of cigarettes. They have filters. Their wrappers containing tobacco, but can descend for a brown paper. Exaggerated advertising on promise packing "smoking by experience you have got used to expect".
Has begun the Wind of it, FDA has reminded the public that the interdiction extends on everything that corresponds to a profile of cigarettes even if it is designated as "cigar". And in committee of the House of Representatives on power and trade declared investigation on purpose to find out, whether really "the flavoured cigars differ the flavoured cigarettes.
At once, Kretek International Inc, has closely taken place the importer in Moorpark, California, has brought an action on FDA, having accused him in "obviously obfuscating" "Definition a cigarette".
"If the product is a cigar, it not cigarettes and on the contrary", speaks to its complaint. "Kretek asserts that Djarum cigar cigars".
The company has asked district court of the USA in Washington for declarative cigars-and-and-cigars the decision. Comments FDA of falling and till now not an answer file. Without a legal management, in the meantime, whether carnations of America conscious should judge now for themselves Djarum new cigars, at heart hide an ego.
On the Indonesian restaurant he owns here, in Alexandria, one has passed Sonni Setiantoko near by. "It is a smell!" He has told.
On a still night on Monday, it sat on back to the table after sharp meal from сатай and coconut fig. Was born in Java, he smoked the first kretek aged till 14 years. Having come to the USA in 1994, on 24, it was switched on camels soon to give up smoking. Now it has shined Djarum "Splash".
"Listen, what a crash?" Mr. Setiantoko has told. "That is why we name them kretek. It is a sound". It was tightened also inhalation. "It is really original, he has told. Forces me to think of my childhood, there will be a fishing. I feel that I not in America. Crazy, yes? Mr. Setiantoko have studied object between fingers and has told:" It is a cigar?
Carnations to dry kidneys on trees in Molucccas, once named Spice islands, in east part of Indonesia. Columbus was after a carnation when it has faced America and has received some tobacco to people whom he has met there. Have united Nobody two to the Javanese person of hire of a carnation of cigarettes in 1880th years, hoping that it will facilitate its asthma.
It has not made, but the mix became a hit in any case. After a century, Indonesia of millions kretek smokers. About 30 years ago, the industry has started to export. In the USA, kreteks has approached with big gloomy teenagers. Sales have grown on the past $100 million, approximately in a tandem with a nose rings and to paint hair black.
As tobacco the bill through the Congress, early projects are not mentioned a carnation. But in 2006 R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. Have revealed some new brands - "Winter a Mocha-mint", "Kauai Koljada" is has looked on clear for children. Outrage have followed also Reynolds has removed them. The interdiction for taste, from солодки for grapes, remained finally.
Carnations has got to this list too. With Reynolds from game, they were unique big taste left - except for 90 billion menthol Americans to buy cigarettes in a year. But menthol an interdiction of the Congress of assistants and tobacco active workers say that huge crisis бутлегерство now would be lighted. Such law releases menthol. It coldly Turkey independently leaves carnations before heads kretek.
Them 1,2 million persons is, by calculation Kretek International an average five smoke in a week. It makes less the tenth part of 1 % from consumption of cigarettes of the USA. For high schoolboys, kreteks one of those "Short-term whims which it is not caught yet on from the basic American youth" according to 2006 University of Minnesota inspection which is traced 40 % falling in 12-smokers the Estimation of a carnation since 2001.
Along with Indonesian emigrants and Americans, trips abroad, kretek the market are expanded at the expense of ageing of a body of shells and sometimes the neophyte, as Konni Fej Richardson.
Richardson's Mrs. which lives in Grandbury, the State of Texas, has sent Kretek to the International painfully e-mail on the eve of an interdiction: "I have bought everything that they in shop today", she writes. To call, she did not want, that her name in the press. "My mum will have Fit about me to smoke, she has told." It more mums, but it Stern ".
Then the Mrs. Richardson has told: "I 61 years, therefore I can choose to tell to mum or not - and I want carnations so badly, I cannot!"
She has started to smoke five years ago - Virginia Slims. The niece has told to it about carnations, and it is included. Now its hiding place was almost has left. "Last night", has told the Mrs. Richardson: "I half-smoked, and I have put it. At me just half. What will I do?" Told cigars Kretek, she has told: "But a cigar not cigarettes, correctly?
Probably, but what?
You can Roll Your Own. There много's consultation carnations-krupjanoj on the Internet already, one blogger expects self-made kreteks to be "a last word in fashion among hippie". You can directly buy from Indonesia: the recent decision the Internet has arrived operatively if illegally, have defined for customs quality "brochure". Or you could wait, that Indonesia of a file - and to win - threatened the complaint in the World Trade Organization, asserting that the USA carnations discrimination in favour of menthol.
In view of a choice, noncigarette Kretek International can be the best choice. The company confirms, it can prove that its cigar of a cigar: the cover гомогенизированный sheet, tobacco of air drying, and a ready product is delivered in boxes on 12, instead of 20. Though the judge brings an attention to the question on the basis of the analysis of America of a carnation admirers will be with bated breath.
Мэтт Ideas on a roof of the house in Washington a deck not so long ago to thumb through to open new pack Djarums. It makes 24, has spent summer in Java, both work in the United States and Indonesia societies. It was the decline. In a mosque in the street, the appeal to a prayer, was sounding.
"It is the moment to have kretek, he has told, lighting." Tam's a crash. And this smell! "It sat on a folding chair and has let out a smoke loop." I have returned to Indonesia ", Mr. Eden has told." It is fine replacement behind a cigarette. I really hope that it is a cigar.

The fight against smoking by force
The fight against smoking in public places has now become a matter of almost every policeman. Now to fix the violations and the minutes have the right and precinct, and the traffic police personnel and patrol. Presidential campaign for the nation's health has begun.
Victoria Belozertseva, press officer Obolonky RU GU MVD in Kiev, clarified that the statutory penalties for smoking in the wrong places existed since 2005. However, in the previous law did not specify the locations where smoking is prohibited, and no prescribed mechanisms to punish violators. After clarifying these ambiguities parliamentary law enforcement agencies have begun active work in this direction.
According to Arcadia Zaporozhtseva, deputy chief of the Department of Public Safety, chief of district inspectors of Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry has sent instructions to allow the district and patrol the minutes of violations. With regard to the amounts of fines, from the 11/07/2009, the smoking in prohibited place will cost from 51 to 170 UAH., If repeated violations - from 170 to 340 UAH. Penalty for smoking in public transport is from 85 to 340 UAH.
Active struggle against smoking was launched three years ago in Donetsk. City authorities reported 23 areas where smoking is banned and alcohol. Since then, the number of violations decreased significantly, and smokers are increasingly bound by the rules. Most of the violations recorded by the visitors, who are not sufficiently familiar with the rules.
The fight against smoking has intensified in other regions of Ukraine. Thus, in the Sumy region over the last 6 months were issued more than one thousand five hundred protocols, and the amount of fines was about 5 thousand UAH. In the Poltava region recorded 700 violations. Representatives of law enforcement officials indicate that smokers are often not aware that violate the law. Sometimes it causes aggressive reaction on their part, many require clarification on the places where smoking is allowed.
Under the new rules, penalties will be imposed not only on offenders, smoking in public places, but also to owners of public catering facilities, which allows such. By law, at least half the area of a cafe, restaurant or bar must be designed for non-smokers and free from tobacco smoke. If you can not organize a separate room, smoking is prohibited in the facility. However, to date there has been no payment of fines in the amount of 1 to 10 ths. catering establishments. But citizens can feel the effect of new rules on themselves. So, who lives in Poltava Valery Datsenko in one night managed to get just two fines for smoking in the wrong places.
Valery Datsenko upset that he had to pay 150 hryvnia. According to him, for the entire 15-year experience of smoking it this never happened. Moreover, police officers themselves often smoke near the entrance to the police department. Valery was arrested for smoking in the park, and then - for smoking on the station platform.
He admitted that the fines are unlikely to make it adhere to the law, unless carefully inspected by the parties before a cigarette. Valery believes that people just do not know, the places where smoking is prohibited and where smoking can be.
As usual, the fight against smoking has affected traders selling cigarettes by the piece. For violation they will have to lay out 510 UAH. Typically, they manage to escape before the police raids, but some still come across.
Strict prohibitions relating to smoking in vestibules trains. Employees of the transport police make frequent rounds to find violators. Many passengers think that some time be patient and not smoking, and if to be a long road, then you can smoke in the toilet, where it's hard to fix the fault.
The fight against smoking in the near future will affect the drivers. Traffic policemen rightly believe that smoking while driving, like talking on the phone, helps dispel the attention of the driver and can cause an accident. Monitoring compliance with the rules already begun Mariupol GAI. Fixing the first violation, the inspector makes the driver a warning.
