Ban on alcohol and cigarettes in South Africa

[ProfA]

if only smokers and drinkers had some vindictiveness in them to stop smoking and drinking for a while for no other reason than to screw over government with tax revenue.

Sadly that's screwing many thousands of people and a hell of a lot of economic activity, as well as even bi-lateral trade agreements abroad as we've really seen. It will not just affect taxes.
And Now I'm out of here for real lol

I value supporting my local wine farms, breweries and distilleries more than that.

Tax , what tax ? We have been smoking and drinking without paying tax.

If only the majority of the country would be willing to bet on another power besides the ANC for just one day of voting, but here we are.

Quick question.

If my supplier brings his price down, would it be morally correct for me to support him and evade sin tax?

 

[Spliffcat]

Whoop whoop . Still don't trust Kopdoek or Mad Hatter and Co.

Pro-tip... if you're shopping for beer or boxed wine on Tuesday check the expiration date.

Do you want to continue smoking the unregulated stuff?

Morals are so 2019.

Doubt they will close it, but if they do we need to keep pushing so the last post when it gets locked is on page 420.

Why?

Goddammit Sollie, trust the smokers/stoners - this is reallyfuckinimportant, once-in-a-lifetime stuff!

True story. I bought some boxed wine just after the first ban that had expired a year earlier. I shat my brains out the next day

Here we go, the govt or the President does not know their midnight from their morning.
President says from Monday midnight and his office official say ON the 18th.
The news media is going to spend the whole of tomorrow arguing this one.

Have to make sure you're smoking the healthy cigarettes.

Last post wins thread now?

Done

I don't smoke, but I'm going to get a cigar to celebrate!

We've already been down this road before. Precedent was set when lockdown started.

Why not just say from Tuesday. Did they not learn from the previous time in March when then generated the same confusion.

Meh! You over indulged hence why you got sick.
Craft beer on the other hand is a problem.
So is other beers sometime but you can normally see and taste it.
Wine goes sour. And off wine is unmistakeable as well.

 

[ghostRgg]

We did it.
Cigarettes and Alcohol getting unbanned when we hit page 420 of this thread, coincidence? I think not!
