§ 38. Mr. D. Priceasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the high association between cigarette smoking and the incidence of such diseases as cancer of the lung, cancer of the larynx, cancer of the esophagus, duodenal ulcers, aortic aneurysm, cancer of the bladder, coronary artery diseases and cancer of several other sites and the lower association between cigar smoking and pipe smoking and such diseases, he will reduce the excise duty on cigars and pipe tobacco and increase it on cigarettes in such a manner as to bring no loss of revenue to the Exchequer.
§ Mr. PowellThe duty is not charged upon the various tobacco manufactures but upon the leaf.
