Well well well, who'd have thought it more tax on ciggies. Why not increase tax on alcohol, that causes more hassle than smoking, alcohol causes assaults, drunkeness, police time, hospital time.

The Government get close to £1.5billion a year from smokers, they spend £300milliom treating smoking related illnesses. The Government gets £2.1billion from alcohol tax, it costs the government £3billion to tackle alcohol related violence, a smoker doesnt need the police, an ambulance, a police helicopter to trace them when they've knocked someone over due to drink driving, an A&E department to pump their stomach out after a night on the beer, police to come to the hospital after they've tried to hit the doctors and nurse I could go on.

Alcohol causes more trouble and illnesses than smoking will ever do.
