Now people wont die of cancer. You can close the cancer hospital. Use that money to buy new cars for ministers. So when do you intend to increase alcohol again.. Tell the tourists Welcome to Sri Lanka. No Fags no Booze.

Our Free Health system should be in check. We need policies for patients addicted to Alcohol, Drugs and Cigarette should pay the cost for the treatment except for children who should be re integrated with the society. If not price increase won't change anything drastic.
