Why not? You have the right to contact your MP and suggest things change, this is a democratic right. If enough people agree with you, maybe the government will take notice.
The Lib Dems have been talking frequently about the idea of increasing income tax by 1p and ring-fencing that for education, so the concept isn't exactly new.

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.

Damn! Yes, of course!! Why didn't I think of that before?
Hey, tell you what, I'll go around telling everyone to smoke up because they're saving me from having more taxes! And, of course, I'll be really glad that they're going to die young because that means more NHS resources for ME!
