I doubt they'll actually slash it. It's more than likely just to get the votes they need to be elected. Then they will go back on what they said.

Why tax on people’s choices? First SUGAR, now THIS. They are TAXING on the WRONG things, also I don’t fully understand the concept of banning GAMBLING on video games and NOT doing anything about TAB where online GAMBLING is legal. Just doing whatever to pocket money at this point.

Hear me out. If they got rid of cigarettes all together then anyone see with a cigarette could get issued a fine on the spot. Makes the risk way higher to keep smoking so most people wouldn’t bother with the black market ones.

If we stood our ground as a collective group on all major policies, the government would have no choice but to fold.

If the government drops the price to $18 a 20 pack the illegal price will go back to $10, the damage has been done. Do something about the alcohol price, it’s fucn ridiculous.
