Just like the revenue from speed cameras, VED etc, it's not earmarked for some specific purpose, it goes into Gordon Brown's big pot and is doled out as he sees fit.

It's hardly our fault that the revenue from tobacco sales is not portioned off to the NHS. Perhaps people like you should be greatful that the extra taxes WE pay are covering things that you'd have to pay extra for if we didn't smoke.
