Source text - Russian Минздрав предложил ввести экологический сбор на сигареты
Минздрав РФ направил письмо в адрес Минприроды с предложением ввести экологический налог на сигареты, потому что отходы табачной продукции могут представлять опасность для окружающей среды. Об этом сообщает ТАСС.
“Вопрос введения экологических налогов прямо не относится к компетенции Минздрава России. Вместе с тем отметим, что отходы от табачной продукции действительно могут представлять опасность как для человека, так и для окружающей среды”, — пояснили в пресс-службе ведомства.
По информации Минздрава России, эксперты сходятся во мнении, что источниками загрязнения являются как сами сигареты, так и компоненты табачного дыма.
“Источниками загрязнения являются как сами продукты потребления табака (например, окурки, содержащие кадмий и целый ряд других загрязняющих элементов), так и выделяемые компоненты табачного дыма (в частности, углекислый газ). Следует также учитывать, что процесс курения является одной из ведущих причин лесных пожаров”, — уточнили в пресс-службе Минздрава.
Конкретного предложения по налоговой ставке в письме Минздрава не содержится, однако в ведомстве считают, что “средства, полученные в результате сбора экологического налога, могли бы быть направлены на финансовую поддержку мероприятий в сфере экологии, а также внедрения различных природоохранных технологий”.
В России с 1 июля акциз на сигареты увеличился на 10%. Однако эксперты не прогнозируют значительного повышения цен.
Translation - English The Ministry of Health proposes instituting an environmental tax on cigarettes
The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation sent a letter to the Ministry of Natural Resources with a proposal to institute an environmental tax on cigarettes, due to the threat that waste from tobacco products poses to the environment. TASS reports.
“Matters related to introducing environmental taxes frankly isn’t an area of the Russian Ministry of Health’s expertise. But at the same time, it should be noted that waste from tobacco products really can pose a danger to both people and the environment,” the ministry’s spokesman explained.
According to the Russian Ministry of Health, experts agree that cigarettes themselves and tobacco smoke components are both pollutants.
“Pollutants include both the products for consuming tobacco (for example, cigarette butts which contain cadmium and a number of other contaminants) as well as tobacco smoke components (in particular carbon dioxide). It should also be taken into account that smoking is a leading cause of forest fires,” the Ministry of Health spokesman clarified.
The Ministry of Health’s letter doesn’t contain a concrete tax rate proposal, however the agency believes that “funds received by collecting an environmental tax could be directed toward financially supporting ecological activities, as well as the adoption of various environmentally friendly technologies”.
Since July 1, the tax on cigarettes in Russia has increased by 10%. However, experts don’t anticipate a significant price increase.

As you may have noticed, this isn't your average bio. That's because I'm not your average translator. Some people settle for mediocrity; others strive to excel.
In this brief bio, you'll see just a small sampling of my diverse background and experience that has prepared me to work on your project. I strive to master every field I work in, and that shows in my credentials and client satisfaction.
Review highlights from various aspects of my professional career
My drive to learn is part of what makes me an effective translator. In fact, it's why I became a translator. I wanted to learn new things everyday, translating allows me to do that. Some translators when faced with something they don't know, just make a guess and move on. I find the right answer; because I genuinely want to know the answer.
In addition to academic and technical interests, I also love:

Russian
I learned Russian by attending what can only be described as a 3 month language boot camp, and then moving to Russia. I spent two years living, learning, and loving the Russian language and culture.
When I came back to the United States for college, I took every Russian language class offered. I could have dual minored in Russian, if I took one more Russian culture class. But, I had a job lined up so I just graduated instead.

Professional/Academic credentials and relationships:
Before switching to Russian-to-English translation full-time; I was the Chief Operations Officer of a Digital Marketing Agency. Let's just say, that provided me with opportunities to rub shoulders with, consult, and work for some major brands and influencers. From big brands like NordicTrack, to Universities, to Silicon Valley Tech Companies, I've worked for industry leaders around the nation.
You need me when you need translations that will resonate with your audience and meets these marketing needs:
Cryptocurrency is a revolutionary innovation of the modern era. There is so much hype and buzz about them that a tea company added "blockchain" to their name and their stock soared.
Cryptocurrencies aren't just an interesting payment method; the math behind them is fascinating. I've spent way too many hours dissecting encryption algorithms, and pouring over documentation. No matter what you're writing about, I can handle cryptocurrency translations.
