We estimate effects of the final state interactions in B{yields}{pi}{pi} decays coming from rescattering of {pi}{pi} via exchange of {rho}, {sigma},f{sub 0} mesons. Then we include the {rho}{rho} rescattering via exchange of {pi}, {omega}, a{sub 1} mesons and finally we consider contributions of the a{sub 1}{pi} rescattering via exchange of {rho}. The absorptive parts of amplitudes for these processes are determined. In the case of {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} decay mode, due to model uncertainties, the calculated contribution is M{sub A}{<=}1.7x10{sup -8} GeV. This produces a small relative strong phase for the tree and color-suppressed B{yields}{pi}{pi} amplitudes consistent with the result of a recent phenomenological analysis based on the BABAR and Belle results for the B{yields}{pi}{pi} branching ratios and CP asymmetries.
