Teboho Walaza “There are things that people adjust to even when prices change. I have noticed that people will always make a plan to satisfy their habits instead of trying to stop.”
Tebello Ramantsho “No, people would make other sacrifices before they give up on drinking and smoking. They always find the money for such.”
Zandile Sibiya “I think the price increase may lead some people to consider if their habits are really worth this much money. Quitting is a different story.”
Gcobokazi Msunduka “No, people might just find cheaper ways to get their fix. But I don’t think many will decide to quit.”
Peter Mtubatsi “Not really, maybe some will consider the cost of their habits, but it will take a whole lot more to quit completely.”
Zanele Nkadinde “I don’t think people are really bothered by how much it costs to use alcohol and cigarettes. They just want to have it whenever they want it.”
Leonard Molo, chairperson of the Springs Taxi Association, invites all members to meet at 10am at Springs Town Supper Hall on Wednesday.
Ali Dayele “I think if the price increase was greater, maybe some people would stop drinking or smoking. But this small increase doesn’t make a tangible difference.”
