Laser printers pollute the air office, and they are no less harmful than cigarette smoking for smokers second hand. Such a conclusion was made by members of the Australian University of Technology, Cleveland.
Researchers do not even think that the printers can cause harm to people. First, their goal was to check the office ventilation. Nevertheless, the scientists were very surprised that no one can save space protection office air of dust.
The source of emissions of harmful substances in the office, as agreed at the university staff. Then they began their research. During the investigation, the experts found that on weekdays the level of pollution in the office increases 5 times more. Having all of the equipment was found that one third of the particles emitted from a laser printer toner. Most polluted printers did not yield to smokers who smoked 22-23 cigarettes daily in the workplace.
Toner particles are so small that they are able to penetrate into the body through the lungs and cause many diseases. He noticed that the printers have become more dangerous after the change cartridges. However, not all printing units are equally dangerous. Of all the printers, 60% were totally harmless, and 12% were admitted to be uncritically.
The study authors asked the Australian Government to tighten control over the manufacturers of office equipment. Such brands as Canon, HP Color LaserJet, Ricon and Toshiba participated in the research.

Another way to combat smoking
Until recently, the Belgians often dropped in for the marijuana in the Dutch city of Bergen op Zoom and Roosendaal. However, since September 16, 2009 Belgians have to find another kind of entertainment. Or at least change the route of travel.
In February, local authorities bordering the two Dutch cities have adopted a new law under which Bergen-op-SOME and Rosendale to the beginning of the fall should be closed all the coffee shops (ie cafe, where you can buy coffee, marijuana and hashish). According to the mayors, it is the best and, indeed, the only way to end the so-called drug tourism in border towns.
According to official information, each week alone Bergen op Zoom comes 25 thousand narkoturistov. All of them are not paying attention to the border town of attractions, go to the nearest train station coffee shop, bought it marijuana and hashish, and then go out and break all possible laws, including the moral. So the local mayor's office attributed the growing crime rate.
25 thousand?
- Local authorities say that these tourists are committing many crimes, but I do not think that's true. The truth is that the City simply does not know how to deal with crime in the city, and now they have decided to blame everything on marihuanovy business. What nonsense - told me one of the owners of local shops. He asked not to mention neither his name nor the name of the institution. - Police authorities ... they are and so on we pressed. They carefully the monitored media, I have no problems then surely consume. Let's anonymous.
Managers coffee shopami with one voice declare that 25 thousand - a mythical figure, and in their city so many narkoturistov never was.
- 25 thousand? They have this figure from the air taken. Yesterday in my shop has gone only three foreign clients, - said one of the managers Grow shop.
His shop sells cannabis seeds, as well as all sorts of "related products": from pipes and boxes for crushing marihuanovyh cones to trinkets, T-shirts and flags with images of Bob Marley and the actual leaves of the plant. For connoisseurs of the European democracies have souvenirs with political connotations: they depicted a dark-blue flag of the EU, where the yellow stars replaced by the leaves of marijuana. Thin metaphor for a society in which abolished border and there is no strict prohibition on soft drugs.
Grow-shops are still allowed in the Bergen-op-SOME, and as soon as the authorities close them, not collected, but the new law is definitely hit and in this business. Manager starts visibly nervous when it comes to the latest initiative of local authorities: "We have nothing to do with that, it is the law, we must observe, but only that we do now with our business? .."
- Not so many foreigners comes to the coffee shop - the manager complains about the nearby cafes. - Almost all of them disappeared after 1 July 2008. Now they are simply nothing to do. Not in the same pool play ...
Since mid-summer last year in the coffee shops Bergen-op-Zom is strictly prohibited as smoking tobacco and marijuana to hashish. So the closure of coffee shops in this city no longer makes sense, says the seller. "I think the real reason is that in this business revolves too much money and our government wants to put their hands on them. You saw what happened in Arnherne? They now sell marijuana in a building of the urban municipality ... "
Today the usual coffee-shop in Bergen-op-SOME looks like a spa cafe in the off season. A lot of free tables and more staff than customers. From time to time the door opens and enter the cafe rare visitors. Hastily confident gait, they go through the main hall in the small room, where sell marijuana and hashish. People quickly get what they want, and just as quickly go away, pretending nothing had happened.
- Our business is strongly affected by all these laws - continues managing coffee shopom.
I ask him what he was going to do after the Sept. 16, and he sadly says:
- I do not know ... I would like to continue their studies, but the attitude of Dutch Muslims makes me think of returning home. I'm probably going back to Morocco. I live in the Netherlands three years, but for them I am still a foreigner.
Belgians
In Rosendale situation with drug tourism is more serious. From the train station to the nearest coffee-shop - walk two minutes. And this place is quite unlike the empty cafe, barely make ends meet, to four o'clock there were about fifteen visitors. They play table football, drink tea, carefully twisted shoals and where they puff.
Smoking inside a coffee shop in Rosendale is still allowed, so the local schools the atmosphere is quite different. In contrast to the coffee shop Bergen-op-Zoma, the cafe does not look like points of sale of drugs, but rather as a meeting place and recreation. In the noisy smoke-filled room is hard to see a man who quickly made his way to the "menu" - window, under which the samples are different varieties of marijuana and hashish. Things here are slow and even a little lazy, visitors are relaxed, carefree and sellers. On life after Sept. 16 they have not thought it answered reluctantly: "Do not know ... Maybe the owner will open here just a bar? Something so be ... "
The bar sits a young man of twenty-five. He looks like an average visitor of the most ordinary cafe, but only in addition to green tea he ordered more and can not with marijuana. Asked:
- How are you doing, man?
- Normally, - is responsible. - Here I sit smoke ...
Half an hour ago he was still in Belgium, ten minutes ago, got off the train and now scribbling match. Such a journey he makes is not the first time. In a sense, this is such a tradition - come on the weekend in the border city of the Netherlands, to drink tea and smoke a jamb.
- Went to the University in the morning, after school got on the train and came here. Today I decided to visit Roosendaal, just for variety, but usually I go to Maastricht.
Kevin heard about a new initiative by city authorities Roosendaal, but its not too worried.
- What will you do after 16 September?
He calmly shrugged his shoulders:
- I will go to Maastricht.
By the bar counter suit has clearly smoked two Belgian and try to order a martini. "We do not sell alcohol" - is responsible seller. Girls look surprised and frustrated - as if they do not sell alcohol for the first time. Nevertheless, visits to the Netherlands at the weekend for their usual thing. They know what amount of drugs "can be" no problem to smuggle across the border, and are ready to give useful advice to anyone who needs them. But the local law they consider stupid and unfounded.
- Frankly, I do not quite understand why they took the law. It is understandable that after Sept. 16 no one will be better. Marijuana will be exactly the same, just all of it will be illegal. They achieve very different results.
One of these results, naturally, will increase drug tourism in other cities. The main blow themselves will Maastricht, located just three kilometers from the border. In 1992 there was established by the European Union, but the Belgians here implies rather smell of marijuana. However, the local authorities to actively seek a solution to the problem of drug tourism: for example, the mayor Gerd Leers proposed to move all the coffee shops outside the city. On the one hand, loyalty to the Dutch liberal traditions, on the other - the Belgians would not violate the city order.

Cigarety take out cars
Illegal export of cigarettes from our country in the EU in 2009 continues to gain momentum. According to the State Customs Service of Ukraine (GTSU), for the first nine months of this year recorded 1,828 violations. The customs attributed this situation a huge difference in the cost of tobacco products in Ukraine and abroad.
1000% profit
Director of the organization to combat smuggling and violation of customs regulations GTSU Andrew Fedkin said that the average pack of cigarettes in Western Europe is $ 10.12: This is more than 10 times higher than the Ukrainian rates. This is what makes the smugglers to go to incredible tricks to smuggle goods across the border, after a profit of 1000% can only dream of! According to customs, the liquidity of such operations is so high that even the administrative fines, criminal penalties, confiscation of the vehicle and all the goods do not stop the intruders.
Miracles resourcefulness
Awesome just amazing resourcefulness of the criminals who hide their goods in the most unexpected places. For example, in April this year, customs Vinogradova (which at the Ukrainian-Romanian border) found 4.9 million cigarettes Chesterfield, worth about 111 thousand euros in polished chipboard. Intruders have seized the contents of plates and gently stuffed her goods! A week customs check point "Chop-Zahony on the border with Hungary have witnessed this attraction, when 4.4 million cigarettes LM Red and LM Blue for about $ 100 thousand euros were hidden in the four cryogenic tanks for liquefied gases. "The cost of such vessels, the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the smugglers in order to obtain excessive profits lead them to complete uselessness", - said Andrei Fedkin.
Ukraine - transit paradise
The main reason for the activity of offenders is the geographical location of our country, which is on land borders with seven countries. His role is also played a large part of the transparency of national borders: Ukraine - is a gateway to Europe for the States of the eastern region. That is why 84% of all cigarette smuggling in the current year were recorded exactly on the borders of Ukraine - EU. Results from January to August 2009 are detained by customs 35.4 million cigarettes, or 1.8 million packs. Thus in 30,7% cases, smuggling was carried across the border with Hungary, 27,8% - with Romania, and only 3,8% - on the Ukraine-Russia border. Habits have changed and smugglers: until 2008 when the first tobacco products "imported" in small quantities for private cars, it is now being taken for the most part of wagons and carriages. It is this incident was recorded in June this year, when the intruders attempted to carry through the Ukrainian-Polish border, more than 1.5 million cigarettes LM Red, LM Blue and Regal in a big bag container capacity of about 2 tons, filled with kaolin and immersed in a railway carriage.
At the same time, the black imported cigarettes in Ukraine went to the decline. Over the past five years, flows reduced by almost half: from 406 to 255 cases. The reason is that most of the contraband tobacco in our country are importing from Russia, Belarus and Moldova, where prices are not much lower than Ukrainian.
One hope - in Europe
The main method of combating smuggling GTSU is cooperation with customs authorities of other countries. Great importance is the exchange of information on cases of dubious' export and transit of "tobacco products. "Unfortunately, the Ukrainian customs service, in contrast to colleagues abroad, has no right to carry out operational-search activities, and it reduces our capacity", - said Andrei Fedkin. The only way that will improve the detection of smuggling, GTSU to accelerating the exchange of information between Ukraine and EU countries. Also, the situation will certainly improve the increase of excise tax on cigarettes.

This brand of cigarettes is best known for its distinctive filter, which is recessed paper, as opposed to the foam filter, found on other brands. This filter not 
only makes these cigarettes more environmentally pleasant since the paper is better than the foam they are also healthier for the smoker themselves.
The producer “Altria” doesn’t answer the question “Why was the recessed filter introduced particularly with Parliament cigarettes"?. Their reason is short: “it’s a Parliament brand's secret”. So, the result given by “Parliament” cigarettes can be exemplified only by real smoking specialists: Parliament cigarette is a satisfaction

The name of the cigarette brand - “Parliament” - has its own meaning.
