Urhuluneli u-Eric Holcomb usayine umthetho oyilwayo kule veki, ebandakanya izibonelelo zokunciphisa i-25% yerhafu ebekwe ngabathengisi kwiibhobho ze-cigarette ze-elektroniki ezivaliweyo ezifana nezixhobo zeJuul ukuya kwi-15%.Abenzi bomthetho bombuso kulo nyaka uphelileyo bavume irhafu ephezulu ye-e-cigarettes e-Indiana ukusuka ngoJulayi ka-2022.
Kodwa iRiphabhlikhi iholele yowiso-mthetho ivume izinga lerhafu eliphantsi, kubandakanywa imigca esixhenxe kwi-bill yephepha le-118, eyona nto ibandakanya utshintsho kumthetho werhafu yobugcisa.
I-Republican Senator Travis holdman, usihlalo we-Senate Tax Committee markel, uthe utshintsho kwirhafu yezixhobo ze-e-cigarette kwakufuneka ukulungelelanisa ne-15% yerhafu yerhafu ebekwe kwi-e-cigarettes ehlaziyiweyo kunyaka odlulileyo.
U-Holdman uthe injongo kukumisela irhafu efanayo kuzo zonke izixhobo zombane kunye neemveliso zecuba.
Ngubani kunye ne-Indiana chamber of Commerce baye banxusa abenzi bomthetho ukuba bagcine i-25% yerhafu yerhafu, besithi bakholelwa ukuba izixhobo ze-e-cigarette kufuneka zibhekane neerhafu ezifana nemveliso yecuba ukukhusela abantu abatsha ukuba baqalise ukuyisebenzisa.UBryan Hannon we-American Cancer Society uthe irhafu kwizixhobo ze-cigarette ze-elektroniki kufuneka ifikelele ubuncinane kwi-20% ukuze ilingane nerhafu ye-cigarette ye-99.5 yeesenti ngepakethi e-Indiana.
Ngokutsho kwamaZiko e-Federal for Disease Control, le mibutho ayiphumelelanga ukukhuthaza ngempumelelo ukunyuka kwerhafu yecuba, engazange itshintshe ukususela ngo-1997, kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, ukuze kuncitshiswe izinga lokutshaya abantu abadala be-19.2% kurhulumente.
