One in 10 smokers has been able to access cigarettes during the national lockdown, according to the results of a survey released by the Human Sciences Research Council .
It found that cigarettes were more accessible than alcohol during the lockdown, according to Priscilla Reddy, extraordinary professor at the HSRC, in a presentation of the findings on Sunday. With South Africa under lockdown since 27 March, the sale of tobacco products and liquor has been prohibited. The survey also found that South Africans have largely adhered to national lockdown regulations, with the results showing that 99% of respondents either left their homes for food, medicine and social grants or stayed at home.
And a lot of revenue has been lost by government with no apparent benefit gained. Politicians are really stupid 🤔
So what
Zuma confirms that the Great Depression is here!
Cigarettes and alcohol was available throughout lockdown. Government just wanted to show us they could while losing a lot of money.
