Belanghebbendes het tot m\u00f4re (4 Augustus) om kommentaar te lewer oor die wetsontwerp, wat onder meer sal bepaal waar en wanneer iemand mag rook en hoe die verpakking van tabakprodukte moet lyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Suid-Afrikaanse Alliansie vir Informele Handelaars (Saita) het reeds \u2019n beroep op die regering gedoen om die kans vir kommentaar te verleng. Volgens Saita is sigarette een van die mees winsgewende produkte vir die sektor. In baie gevalle verkoop informele handelaars los sigarette, wat hul winste van \u2019n pakkie sigarette vergroot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ingevolge die nuwe wetgewing sal los sigarette egter nie verkoop mag word nie. \u201cEk koop los sigarette sodat ek uiteindelik minder rook. Dit is baie moeite om elke keer \u2019n paar los sigarette te koop, so, as ek aan die einde van die dag nie meer sigarette het nie, dan hou ek uit tot die volgende dag. As ek \u2019n hele pakkie het, is die versoe\u00adking om meer te rook, net te groot,\u201d het \u2019n Vredenburger, wat 24 jaar lank rook, aan <i>Weslander<\/i> verduidelik. Plaaslike handelaars meen ook om nie meer los sigarette te verkoop nie, sal gewis hul winste seermaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHierdie bepaling sal \u2019n verwoestende impak op die informele handel h\u00ea, aangesien die meeste handelaars enkel sigarette aan hul klante verkoop. Dit is omdat klante nie \u2019n hele boks sigarette op \u2019n slag wil h\u00ea nie, maar meestal omdat hulle nie kan bekostig om \u2019n hele boks sigarette op \u2019n slag te koop nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNatuurlik weet ons hierdie verbod sal \u00f3f nie in die informele handel ge\u00efmplementeer word nie, \u00f3f geleenthede skep vir korrupte polisiebeamptes om omkoopgeld van informele handelaars te kry,\u201d meen Rosheda Muller, president van Saita. Rokers en gebruikers van e-sigarette sal ook moet mooi trap, want rook in openbare ruimtes kan ook verbied word as die eienaar van \u2019n perseel dit goeddink. Rook in \u2019n private motor waar \u2019n nie-roker of kind is, sal ook verbode wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die verpakking van sigarette, tabak en die elektroniese weergawes sal streng gereguleer word en eenvoudig wees. Handelaars sal ook nie enige sigarette mag uitstal nie en produkte sal slegs aan mense ouer as 18 jaar op aanvraag verkoop mag word.
