They banned colourful tobacco packaging.
They went after people selling cheaper tobacco from abroad.

If they are bothered about it that much why have the Government given the HMRC an extra £900million to tackle fake Tobacco? Aaaah that's right they need their £7billion each year in duty don't they?
What are they going to lump it on to when and if the duty from tobacco drops to below £1billion a year, £5 a pint anyone or £12 for a gallon of fuel?
