Yeah, i cant wait until smoking is banned outright.....and then see the government hike up every tax they can, and maybe invent a few new ones, as they wont be getting anything out of the smokers.
Think of it this way - i was in Tenereife a month or two ago.
A pack of 20 smokes cost me around about �1.75.....for the same pack of smokes over here, it's about �5.15.
If �3.40 of ever pack of tabs is going to the government, what do you think is going to happen when there is a complete stop to it??
I'll be waiting for the "oh, increased taxes wont bother me" argument, but i guarentee, every single tax payer will be up in arms at having to pay so much more!!
