Taxing e-cigarettes will make them less affordable, thus reducing their use and providing additional revenue to cover the health and economic harms they cause. In 2019, tobacco tax was increased by R1.14 per pack of cigarettes, an amount that was too low to have any meaningful impact on smoking behaviour. The Treasury, in its 2019 Budget Review, acknowledged that cigarette-makers appear to have absorbed most of the tax increases rather than increasing prices of cigarettes. This again indicates that the tax increase was too low.
Lol our health? You mean governments pockets.
Why taxed - rather ban it!
