The tobacco excise tax or the additional tax for tobacco products will be a law in this week as the department of finance told the news reporters today. Now this is a very good news for me because it will mean one thing which is the added fund for the government's coffers which will ultimately add fund for my country's Universal Health Care Law.
I am happy because it will mean that my dialysis sessions will get improved with the number of allocations I will get per years with regards to my dialysis session from 90 to 120. I badly needed added sessions although it will increase the bills that I have to pay but in general it will certainly be better for all dialysis patients which will improved our quality of life.
Soon there will be an added bonus for my country's tax reform law and I am talking about the excise tax for liquor. These so-called sin-taxes are aimed to discourage people especially the youth from starting their vices because the taxes meant to make these said products to be so expensive that people will tun to buying other products than spending cash into a useless and harmful things like cigarettes and liquor.
Lung disease is one of the leading cause of death in this country, in fact it is the second leading cause if death so this kind of prohibitive price on tobacco products will make the youth get protected as they are discouraged with buying such vice product that affected the lives of so many people already.
