Irish anti-smoking campaigners call for another 60c Tax on packet of cigarettes
ANTI-smoking campaigners in Ireland have
called on Finance Minister Michael Noonan to put an extra 60c on the
price of a pack of 20 cigarettes in the next Budget. ASH Ireland also said it
wants to bring the taxation on “roll-your-own-tobacco” into line with
other tobacco products when Mr Noonan delivers his Budget package for
2013. ASH Chairman Dr Ross Morgan
said: “Significant price increase is established and accepted as the
most potent weapon against smoking. “It encourages smokers to
quit and discourages young people from commencing the habit. Regrettably
we have over 900,000 smokers in this country who consume roughly six
billion cigarettes annually. “This of course leads to
addiction, significant tobacco related illness and the death of 5,700 of
our citizens every year. One in two people who smoke will die because
of this and it is incumbent on the government to take a leadership role
and increase price and in doing so reduce prevalence.”
