Reverse tax increases on cigarette and rolling tobacco prices

Petition Details

The Government must reverse from the latest announced tax hikes on cigarette and rolling tobacco prices that came into effect from the 27th of October 2021.

Additional Information

In the modern libertarian society of which we live in today, you would not expect the nanny state to still be prevalent. People should be free to make up their own minds as to whether they wish to purchase a product, without being penalised, and no higher power or Government should ever possess the authority to bestow its individual moral views upon the masses. Where cigarettes are subject to high taxes, this can lead to them being bought through the black market rather than official vendors.
