ECONOMIC AND UNECONOMIC MEASURES IN TOBACCO INDUSTRY IN CZECH REPUBLIC IN LAST TEN YEARS
 Zděnková, Radka ; Ševčík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Řežábek, Pavel (referee)
Smoking and tobacco industry is one of the most regulated area in majority of world's countries. It's because of government's effort to reduce the smoking prevalence and to protect the public health. But each individual is responsible for his own health, not the state. One of the most frequent measure taken in the fight against smoking is Tobacco advertising ban. However proportion of smokers in population hasn't decreased when the law came into force in Czech republic. It emerges from a variety of surveys that there's not a signifiicant relation between an advertising and consumption of tobacco products. Another measure is the health warnings on tobacco products, which doesn't influence the quantity of smokers at all. Entire smoking ban in privately owned public places harms the proprietary rights. An increasing of excise duty leads to increase in price of cigarettes and thus motivates consumers to go over to cheap cigarettes or smoking tobacco. At the same time the black market grows. The only impact of regulation is relative decrease of tax revenues as well as products' quality, and the rise in the criminality connected with the tax evasion and the cigarettes' black market.

How important the smokers are
 Zděnková, Radka ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
In my bachelor's work I would like to deal with the question whether smokers represent a benefit or a loss for the society. I will describe the opinions of various economists on this problem, the way they estimate the costs connected with smoking including the external costs - the costs connected with health harming, costs used for health care, the loss of labour productivity etc. - how they deduce the costs level and what recommendations - in this area -are given to the government - e.g. the level of taxation. Further on, I would write about the way these economists estimate the smoking revenues, what these revenues represent - revenues of excise tax, profit taxes of tobacco companies, the savings in the retirement system and the health care system due to the premature mortality of smokers etc. - and what their estimated level is. I will mention the controversial issues and the ways they are solved. In the practical part of my bachelor's work I would like to calculate the level of the costs connected with smoking and it's revenues particularly in the Czech Republic. By comparing these two numbers I would answer the given question i.e. whether smokers represent a benefit or a loss for the society.
