Sir: I want to bring attention toward sin tax imposed by federal government on cigarettes. Smoking or tobacco is a serious health threat and cause of many diseases like addition, lungs cancer and mental sickness etc etc.
The tax on smoking will be an effective way to reduce consumption as it will make it expensive and eventually will become burden for people. Not only this I believe Sin tax is also a good way of earning revenue for the government which can later be used to fund state projects.
