They take a 77% cut from the sale of tobacco every year.

that's 11,000,000,000.00.
it costs the NHS around 2.5,000,000,000.00 a year for smoking related illnesses.

If the aim is to reduce the 11 billion pound profit. then put them cigs back on the shelves and advertise them more. this country needs that money. what are you thinking?!
