VAT should be withdrawn from condoms

AS A sexually active person in my mid-30s, I am concerned about the cost of condoms in Guyana. The condoms that are my preferred brand are not distributed free, and those that are sold in shops and pharmacies have Value Added Tax (VAT). I find it strange that condoms should attract VAT, especially if they are being promoted as a means to reduce the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Why are condoms placed in the same category of harmful substances like alcohol and cigarettes, with VAT, attached?  Those commodities can harm the body, while on the contrary, condoms protect the users and their partners, and therefore should not carry VAT. I would be encouraged to see the new government address this issue with urgency, since having VAT on condoms discourages the public from buying and hence using them

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

I would expect that this woman would be attacked in much the same way that Sandra  Fluke was attacked by Rush Limbaugh . After all the subject is the same ... contraception 
I will not be surprised if someone like Freddie Kissoon  starts calling her a slut

well she is asking for the premier brand

the govt is distributing free why she cant use the free ones

if you want to name brand you should pay the tax

I'm sure she is like the other one from DC that one uses $3000 a year
