NSTletters It is high time the government increased tax on tobacco which will be a win-win for government and people, as it will inject more funds to the treasury, and will also help smokers quit.

government should reduce tax on tobacco instead of raising it. when higher quality tabacco cigarette sells cheap, who will buy counterfeit or illegal tabacco cigarettes? increasing tax will only increase demand for those illegal cigarettes that sells for just rm5 at roadside.

If all quit how it will inject more fund to the treasury 🤔

Help the smokers quit? Lol. Good one. Here's an idea, legalize meth and tax the shit out of those meth-heads. The treasury would be making it rain in no time. 😏

Vehicles, factories, open burning, & etc etc emissions must be subjected to taxes as well. Let's see the wider aspects of it ...

Tak sokong. Kerja bodoh ni. PH dulu ramai antara tak suka sbb layan perokok mcm haiwan. Sampai sekarang terkesan jualan kat banyak kedai2 makan. SmokerLivesMatter

Same old dishonest argument from the same old dishonest activist. There are at least 7 demonstrably false claims in that propaganda piece.

It will just increase the syndicate of smuggling cigarettes. I strongly oppose this idea. Just let go of the fuel subsidy. Increase income tax and subsidise basic goods. Stop importing rice and support local farmers. Subsidies animal feed or better still invest in it.
