Raises a Cigarette Tax

The government raises a cigarette tax around two or three yen per 1 from the next year. Many cigarettes are sold for 300yen now. If raising tax comes true, they are sold 340~330yen. I agree with the plan because rise in prices lead to stop smoking. In addition, I think Japanese cigarettes are far cheaper than foreign country. Smoking is bad for our health. I think cigarettes should more rise in the future.
