Yosi ba kamo?
My mother has a policy not to stop selling cigarette. All things told, big groceries cannot also say no due to consumer demands. Philippines are topping rankings about smoking not just about corruption. But I continue to fight as my faith points the way. We put the per stick cigarette out of anybody’s sight, sell only 4 brands per stick, and forefront other goods while cigarette packs sits on the back. I would like to rip also the cigarette ads posted on our wall.
Kudos to Ruffy Biazon with his RA 9211 (Tobacco Regulation Act). You have my vote. But to tax smokers and manufacturers to put up smoker’s clinic all throughout the archipelago is I think the best. For many reasons we can think of, it is the unaccepted responsibility of the smokers to heal themselves and kick the nicotine addiction. I've told them and provided them pamphlets before about how to kick the vice, and they are positive, only to admit that all throughout the Philippines it is still available at every corner. And that is the best reason, use their nicotine addiction (for which they don't want to stop anyway or don't know how to stop, and in Indonesia recently, a mother don't know that smoking is fatal) to tax them to put up for them at every municipality a smoker's clinic which they will also be the beneficiary. In this line, we will follow a sustainable decrease of selling cigarette, provided good and effective programs will be implemented in each smokers clinic. There is no excuse for that, not to use the sin tax for a better road or school facilities. The first priority of this sin tax is not just to cure the disease once they are already worse but to prevent them effectively helping the user themselves who are paying the sin tax before using it in any good project for it is not right to use a bad means for a good cause. We don't need sin tax to increase and develop the Philippines. We need taxes coming from good businesses, a good means for a good cause. If smoker's clinic is an insanely disproportionate proposition, then I have another proposal that every store selling cigarettes will have a corner in it where pamphlets of informations will be available, side by side availability of options proposed therein like available drugs in mercury for kicking the habit, etc., if all they have in mind is to push cigarette manufacturers to put pictures in the pack which have not materialized up to now.
