Allegedly an attempt to help smokers give up, there's a 50% reduction in the health taxes on 'heated tobacco'.
No doubt its merely coincidence that Heated Tobacco Products are now subject to only half the tax they were formerly.
They claim that its a just a trial...
Big Tobacco must love this govt.

Pity the tobacco industry doesn't pay for the health system.

I bet they'd love the chance to try, no doubt with many devious little ways to avoid spending,while 'maximising' profits...& no doubt there's a govt somewhere not a million miles away which would let them.
For various well hidden payments under another name...
I think I may be getting old & cynical...
