Tobacco and Vapes BillContribution
We believe that we need to align profit with responsibility. The trouble is that these two matters are still treated as entirely separate—and will be even after this Bill is passed. Even if a small fraction of those company profits were reinvested, it would make a tremendous difference. I know that government has previously looked at a levy; information from that has shown that such measures could be reliable, predictable and fair.
