Cigarettes do not serve any purpose at all, where as vehicles do?
Might aswell tax the fuck outta them instead.
That would be great!!!
I must admit i do like it when fags go up, as more often than not it means everyone will benefit somewhere else. So come on smokers, keep on smoking and handing over the cash!!!
Seriously though, the government would be buggered without smokers as its a major source of income for them. They know they can get away with banging the extra on fags and then making them look 'good' by knocking a few pence of other things.
