Pffft... Yea RIGHT! It's because of the duties on the
cigarettes. Don't you know that they know tax you per stick? That's
the reason why the price is going up. The government takes it and
just uses it like it uses ur income tax, GST, road tax, ERP,
etc...
Aniwaez, I think the real question is, why do people still do it
after all these Health Education lessons? My friend got an "A" for
her project on not smoking, but one week later, she started
smoking... I think it's to do with family background... Then they
mix with the bad company, the school dropouts, etc... and pick up
smoking because they're desperate to cling onto this "family".
