Sure i read somewhere that the government accrue something in the region of £13 billion per quarter from smoking tax

Had just 1% of that been spent in cancer research it would have been irradicated 20 years ago - god only knows what could've been acheived with 10% of those taxes

but instead, it paid for a lot of over-weight mp's to gewt a bigger car to haul their big fat @ssed around in
