Among the many Budget points today, the introduction of sugar tax, sunbed tax and the 50c rise in cigarettes have been lining news feeds all over the county.

Paschal Donohoe introduced a 30c tax on a litre of fizzy drinks with 8g per 100ml.

Additionally, a reduced rate of 20c tax will apply on a litre of fizzy drinks with 5-8g per 100ml and fizzy drink lovers are not happy.

So I’ll need to take out a bank loan for a bottle of lucozade, sound #budget18 https://t.co/ysMrAuAoww

The 50c increase on a 20 pack of cigarettes has surprisingly been welcomed by most.

€12 for a box of fags, if that doesn't make you quit I don't know what will #Budget18 pic.twitter.com/iYLHfYZ7oo

How can anyone afford to smoke, not that I give a shit but 12 euro for 20 fags is some money #Budget18

In short:

Not a bad budget for non-smoking, Diet Coke drinking, hoteliers who don't use sunbeds. For everyone else there's a fiver #budget18
